How to Remove Ads on Youtube

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.

Google Chrome: Hit the “Ctrl+Shift+J” key combination.

Mozilla Firefox: Hit the “Ctrl+Shift+K” key combination.

Opera: Hit the “Ctrl+Shift+J” key combination.

Internet Explorer: Hit the “F12” key and then press the “Ctrl+2” key combination.

Apple Safari: Hit the “Ctrl+Alt+I” key combination. 

This will open “Developer Menu” at the bottom of the browser. Now press the “Esc” key to open the Console window.

NOTE The “Developer Menu” will only open if you have checked the “Show Developer menu in menu bar” check box in the “Preferences > Advanced tab”.

Now, paste the below given code in the “Console” window.

document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=oKckVSqvaGw; path=/;
domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();

Hit the “Enter” key.

This will reload the YouTube page, free of any ads whatsoever.

To enable the ads again, either remove the YouTube cookies entirely or run the below code in the “Console” window.

document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/;
domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();

NOTE YouTube can stop this experiment anytime they want. Therefore, below are many other ways we can block ads on YouTube.
