The reason I got it was to skip youtube ads. It works on pretty much all video platforms as far as I've seen. Unless the advertisement is "shot" w/the content. You'll get the occasional "we notice you have ad-blocker active so turn it off" message, but I generally avoid giving those sites my viewership unless it's really unique content. It's pretty good when watching free shows on fox or AMC or something.
I ditched ad-block because now they're making money off holding sites hostage to get removed from their blacklist (actually brilliant). I was never real happy w/ghostery eithers. U block seems to be ok so far (1 yr +)
Ill have to give it a try thx.
