News & Reviews:   Ad-blocker

YouTube is still in a relentless war against ad blockers. Over the past few months, the company has tried a couple of methods such as skipping or muting your video to the end, blocking third-party apps, slowing down your video and many more. This time, YouTube seems to be testing server-side ad injection (SSAI).

Google is fighting really hard against ad-block users on YouTube. The company has tried several methods here and there but this one takes the cake. According to Reddit user SDHD4K, the latest tactic now skips your video to the end if you have an ad blocker turned on.

If you’re using a 3rd party mobile app which offers an ad-free experience while watching YouTube videos, then you’re out of luck. This is because the video streaming platform is now blocking third-party apps from streaming its videos if it detects an ad-blocking feature on them.
