How to block YouTube ads on your phone

Watching YouTube videos with its free mobile app also means having to put up with all the types of banner ads that the video platform includes as a way to generate revenue for content creators.

In a cell phone, this situation, in addition to causing inconvenience, can cause a greater consumption of battery and mobile data, which is better to avoid.

Fortunately, the solution is very simple. It involves accessing YouTube through a browser with an integrated ad blocker.
