Ad blocker doesnt work on youtube

Vuccappella

Any fix for the ad blocker not working on YouTube in android after being enabled?

I see multiple unskippable ads in each video

I have the same problem
on PC I solved it with the AdGuard extension, which works reliably.
On Android, it can't be downloaded for Vivaldi, or I haven't figured it out yet.
AdGuard works on Android only for Yandex and Samsung browsers.

Hi,
Add your Vivaldi's and Android's Versions

Would you share some video link to test?

Thx

vivaldi 6.4.3171.134
android 13 TKQ1.221114.001
I don't have a video, don't want to bother me with it.
If you don't solve the extension I will be forced to stay with the Samsung browser where it works without problems.

The question about a link is that I don't recall to see Ads even using YouTube on Vivaldi, but, some trending videos has more than the kind I usually watch.

I've asked an example link because of that

For example.
Ads are blocked if you are not logged in to YouTube.
If you log in and you don't have premium, either the video can't be played at all and Youtube tells you to turn off the ad blocker, or currently most often an ad starts and you can't skip it

Ok,
Meanwhile the video is uploading:

I've seen no Ads at all (Tested on Android)
The link has been converted to m.youtube.com

I use numerous lists but also a Private DNS
Not sure whether is done by one, another or the mix of them, so:

For the moment,
Check this out.

On Desktop I use uBlock but I'll check in a Profile where the default V AdBlocker is configured on future days

Vivaldi doesn't block Youtube adds. Just like Microphone doesn't work, it says no Internet connection. I recommend disable add block in Vivaldi (Don't use it) get the uBlock Origin extension will fix the adds on Youtube. as for The Mic issue, Vivaldi are very well trained to say it doesn't work ,,, it will never work. Go Figure!

Vivaldi knows that their Adblocker is shit but they don't want to add extension support and that means Vivaldi is unusable because the internet is unusable without a proper Adblocker nowadays.

In this forum, there is a request for extension support but nothing changed.

I try to block adds, but it always plays the first add when you play a youtube video
