DuckDuckGo browser now blocks YouTube video ads
TL;DR
DuckDuckGo's browser now blocks YouTube video ads by default on iOS, Mac, and Windows using uBlock Origin filter lists, though YouTube's frequent ad format changes mean the feature may break periodically. Privacy-focused users get the same ad blocking on standard YouTube while Duck Player handles tracking separately, giving you options depending whether you prioritize speed or anonymity.
DuckDuckGo announced that its browser can now block most video ads on YouTube, including those shown before the video starts playing and during playback.
