Youtube Add Block Chrome Browser

RI RAJBIIR April 03, 2025

 If you're looking for detailed instructions on blocking ads on YouTube in Google Chrome, follow these steps:

1. Using an Ad Blocker Extension

The easiest way to block YouTube ads is by installing an ad blocker from the Chrome Web Store.

Recommended Ad Blockers:

How to Install an Ad Blocker:

  1. Open Google Chrome.

  2. Go to the Chrome Web Store.

  3. Search for "uBlock Origin" (or your preferred ad blocker).

  4. Click "Add to Chrome" → "Add Extension".

  5. The extension will automatically block YouTube ads.

2. Using YouTube Premium (Paid Option)

YouTube offers YouTube Premium, which removes ads and provides additional features like offline downloads and background play.

How to Subscribe:

  1. Go to YouTube Premium.

  2. Click "Try it free" (if available) or "Get YouTube Premium".

  3. Follow the payment process.

  4. Enjoy an ad-free experience.

3. Using a Custom DNS (Advanced Users)

If you want system-wide ad blocking, you can use a DNS-based solution like AdGuard DNS or NextDNS.

How to Use AdGuard DNS:

  1. Open Chrome Settings → Privacy and Security → Security.

  2. Scroll down to Use Secure DNS.

  3. Select Custom and enter:

    • dns.adguard.com (Default AdGuard DNS)

    • dns-family.adguard.com (Blocks adult content too)

This blocks most ads without an extension.

4. Modifying hosts File (For Advanced Users)

You can manually block ad servers by modifying your system’s hosts file, though this requires technical knowledge.

  1. Open Notepad as Administrator.

  2. Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac/Linux).

  3. Add these lines:

    127.0.0.1 youtube.com
127.0.0.1 googlevideo.com

  4. Save the file and restart Chrome.

However, this may block YouTube entirely.

Which Method Should You Use?

✅ Best for Most Users: Use uBlock Origin
✅ Best for Premium Features: Subscribe to YouTube Premium
✅ Best for System-Wide Blocking: Use AdGuard DNS
