level of Advertising is getting Ridiculous
rdl:
I use only NoScript and uBlock Origin on Pale Moon and haven't seen an ad anywhere for years. I use them on Firefox too, but I don't use Firefox enough to comment. I also use a hosts file, but haven't updated it in a long time.

LoL @ coppercone2.
I have to wonder what is in your browser history to cause youtube to target you with those adds ;D
I get pickup truck, chocolate bar and more recently ads for that google-shit "honey" browser addon
Rerouter:
just get endless 15 second long Telstra "where here to help" ads, and occasional KFC silent 5 seconds ads,

Yes. Use an AD blocker and disable tracking 'pixels'. I started the video from that thread but no commercials at all. I never have commercials in any Youtube video unless it is part of the content the Youtuber uploaded. I'm using adblock plus and Firefox (which also can block tracking pixels as part of the privacy settings; there is no use serving somebody ads if they don't know what to show).
