DuckDuckGo Blocks YouTube Ads by Default | Tech News

Published 6 days, 16 hours ago
Description

DuckDuckGo just dropped a game-changing update: its browser now blocks most YouTube video ads by default on iPhone, Windows, and Mac — no settings needed. Android users will get it soon, or can enable it manually. Just open YouTube via the browser (not the app) to enjoy fewer interruptions, powered by uBlock Origin filters and custom rules. Minor buffering may occur, but once playing, ads vanish. This is separate from Duck Player and still lets you use watch history and playlists. Not 100% ad-free, but a huge win for anyone tired of constant interruptions.
