YouTube conducts experiments with its layout and
functionality every now and then. But an average user only notices the updates
to its design and not the under the hood updates which makes YouTube better and
faster. But nowadays YouTube is experimenting something which everyone will
fall in love with, a feature that allows you to block the ads on YouTube
officially, by just changing a cookie stored in your browser.
After changing the cookie, the ads on the YouTube’s
homepage, inside the YouTube player, in the right pane and the ads in the
search results will disappear. It also adds channel cards, a feature which
shows information about the channel when you hover over a channel’s name.
Changing the Cookie
Open YouTube in your browser.
Open “Developer Console”. This can be done by pressing
keyboard shortcuts. These are browser specific, see below for your browser.
