How to Watch YouTube Without Ads in Any Browser

For many users, YouTube without ads are a nuisance. In recent years, ad breaks have become so frequent and intrusive that you’d rather skip them right away. But some ads you have to watch all the way through, or you’re hit with one skippable ad after another.

Many people therefore turn to ad blockers, but Google has apparently declared war on them. Some no longer work or just display a black screen. But there’s an alternative. With one simple trick, how to watch YouTube without ads?

YouTube Without Ads: Here’s How It Works

The trick watch YouTube without ads is based on a bug that currently exists in the Bing search engine. It works in virtually every browser (we tested Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) and is not only simple but also quick to set up.

All you have to do is copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to watch into the Bing search bar. If the video appears right away, click on the new link. If not, you may need to copy the video's title (or the channel name) and search for it instead to find the right video.

That's all there is to it. You can watch YouTube without ads in the window that appears without ads, since it plays directly in your browser. Even if you click the “Watch on YouTube” button, in many cases there won't be an ad break anymore.

Note: With longer videos, YouTube may refresh later in the video and load additional ads. In that case, this trick reaches its limits. However, it will always let you skip the ads that play when a new video starts or in shorter clips. If the trick doesn't work, we've found that reopening Bing or switching browsers usually helps.
