How to Get Rid of YouTube Pre-Roll Ads

YouTube's double unskippable pre-roll ads drastically delay access to critical video content. To definitively get rid of YouTube pre-roll ads, you cannot rely on simple DNS blocks. You must use a robust, layout-aware plugin like the Ultimate Adblocker. By hooking directly into YouTube's desktop client data layer, the extension anticipates the ad-payload and nullifies the video_id of the advertisement, forcing the core underlying video file to begin playing instantaneously.
