Is there anyway to block youtube ads without root and xposed ? I know adblock works for regular ads. But I forgot how horrible it is to constantly go through ads on YT videos.

Check this thread. I haven't come across a way to block YT ads yet, but if I do, it'll be posted there. :good:

I've just finished rooting my G4 and I was wondering what adblockers there are and whether there are some more apps or tweaks I could take advantage of using my root.

- Adaway modifies your host file and blocks pretty much all ads
- Liveboot is super cool
- Substratum if you're on stock ROM
- Titanium Backup
...etc.etc.etc

Thanks! I've already got Titanium backup and Adaway. I'm just going to install substratum now
A2017g with lineageos and magisk.
this evening i did something to block all communication with facebook: either through app or if i try to visit the website via chrome. any other app works fine.
at first I thought it could have been an ad blocker, so i disabled in xposed minminguard and in magisk unified hosts adblock. i also rebooted the phone several times, but the problem persists.
do you have any clue how could i fix this?
@Ficus*，
Have you fixed this issue in your phone? You can contact with FACEBOOK or cancel the restriction on FACEBOOK.
Adnlocker.

Are you guys using the Systemless adblocker from Magisks repo?
Try disabling, see if that fixes it.

If you use the Unified Host Manager app, disable the Master + social option, or use the whitelist.
The Master + porn option also blocks 4chan, lol.
Yes that was the reason probably, I blocked socials in Unified Host Manager app. In the end i solved by just removing unified hosts adblock and using Minminguard on xposed instead.
As per my title, I would like to know what other users use for blocking ads.
I've been using AdAway and some hosts file here in XDA but I'm having issues so I am looking for alternatives

I have added a few lists and deleted the default one. Everytime I open the app it asks for an update implying any changes doesn't reflect. I can't delete my hosts file as well using root explorer.

Reinstall adaway and don't change any settings. Make sure your hosts sources looks like this, and next time you hit apply it should work.

Will try that. I think what happened is that too many entries is on the hosts file. I am trying to use the masterlist from a thread here. I want to restore hosts file but ES file and root explorer can't delete or rename it
non-rooted using blockada with energized and steve black host scripts and adguard dns selected works just fine for me,However this non root thing is a bit new to me,I usually have always unlocked and rooted all previous devices prior to the 6T,but I don't see a reason to do so on the 6t so far.it is quick and great battery life etc..well with exception of missing TB and I more used to adaway.

Adaway will automatically overwrite your hosts file. Shouldn't need to restore the original

Yes, systemless adblocking is enabled. Did it work for you?
Rooted magisk module. Energized protection. Energized Hosts consolidates several reputable hosts files, and merges them into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.

Let me know how you like Energized, I haven't tried it yet but was checking it out in the repo
I use AdGuard. Works great, full blocking with or without Root.

Non-rooted, using Torguard paid VPN with their ad blocking DNS set within the settings. Works very well. I was a compulsive rooter and was using AdAway butt this works fine and no root needed.
Firefox with uBlock origin, simple and effective, no root necessary
Energized basic list, no issue so far
Adguard. Just got a lifetime license for eight bucks for their holiday sale. Once you've got it set up, forget it. Works better than any other method I've used, because unlike adaway and others, adguard actually blocks elements in pages so you can't even tell there's an ad that's supposed to be there. You can export/import your settings if you reset or change phones. It has per-app settings, too. There's a reason it isn't free but it's worth every penny imo.
Is that holiday sale still going on? I need to find that link and get that

Hi there
Past week I had to replace my defunct HTC, my first choice was a OnePlus, but due to budget reasons, I bought a Xiaomi Mi 9T instead. MIUI annoyances aside, I noticed that now youtube is riddled with ads, it is almost unusable. I am watching the same channels I used to before, but now it has like 4 or 5 times more ads.... did you noticed this same behaviour? is it normal?
Thanks.
just use blokada and your ads are gone (in every App)
U can use Youtube Vanced

Yeah, I went that route and so far is being a pain in the arse. In order to install the split apks with SAI, I had to disable MIUI optimizations in developer options, and after re-enabling them, now my apps permissions are all messed, I found out whatsapp would't show my contacts name anymore, to discover that every permission had been revoked. That happened to lots of other apps, some of them will ask for them the next time I launch them, but others will just not work properly, and now I have to figure out everything. And on top of that, with Vanced I have to give up my Google credentials If I want to have access to my histoy, subscriptions and so on.
I wish I spent couple hundreds more in a OnePlus or a Pixel, I would save it in pain...
Thanks.
installed vanced this week and none of ypur problems was present.
youtube is private company, so they do what they want basing on your internet profile. some videos have 20 ads and some have jist one

I'm using 9T since September...
right now I have unlocked bootloader, but Stock 11.0.4, not rooted, just Vanced and haven't got ad on youtube since I installed it. I use it everyday for a few hours at least
adaway also works, but you need root - it modifies host file.
educate yourselves and then go to discussion with others

Actually there is YT Vanced apk (root not required) abd YT Vanced module for Magisk.
Both block ads in YT, apk does not fully work with YT accounts, module does work with YT accounts
As answered earlier yes: AdAway (needs root but) modifies hosts file and hence it DOES NOT block ads in YT - it has been discussed and confirmed/explained many times in XDA AdAway thread (also in DND66 thread that also modifies DNS but through VPN and does not require root)
