Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):DuckDuckGo has added built-in YouTube ad blocking to its browser “Tired of ads interrupting your videos? Us, too,” The new feature blocks most ads that play before and during YouTube videos while keeping the normal YouTube experience, including watch history and playlists. It works on the YouTube website, not the YouTube app. The feature is already enabled by default on iPhone, Windows, and Mac. Android users can turn it on manually for now, with automatic rollout coming soon. The company also explained that it uses “community-driven filter lists sourced from uBlock Origin” alongside its own compatibility rules.
