YouTube is a great video advertising platform for bloggers who want to monetize their content. For the second quarter of 2022, ad revenue on the video hosting site reached more than 7.34 billion, 340 million more than the same period in 2021. Ordinary Internet users are looking for ways to get rid of annoying ads, so about 42.5% of people in Turkey have already installed a blocker. Let’s analyze the most popular ad blockers on YouTube in 2022-2023.
AWAX
A universal program that removes ads in any browser and apps on your phone or PC. It blocks malicious and suspicious sites, saves your traffic, and saves battery life.
This YouTube ad blocker for Android has a built-in VPN service, providing double protection for users’ personal information. AWAX cleans the web of all kinds of annoying media ads:
- YouTube videos and advertising inserts;
- Banners in games and apps on Android and iOS;
- Pop-ups in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
Software is available for download from Google Play, the App Store, Chrome, and the official website.
Luna
The blocker is suitable for removing intrusive ads on mobile devices with any operating system. It reduces the amount of data consumed and copes with marketing inserts in popular social networks (Instagram, Snapchat). But this software cannot effectively protect users from malware or remove media banners on desktop computers.
Mobile users can install this ad block on Android for YouTube, but for other devices will have to choose another, more “flexible” software.
Clario
A standard paid blocker that removes banners and viruses on Android, Mac, iOS, Safari, and Chrome. It works best against constantly popping up ads on YouTube and keeps user data safe while surfing the Internet. It’s limited to the Mac operating system and Android and iOS devices.
It is not suitable for blocking YouTube ads in Opera and similar browsers. It has a free trial period, but only two paid versions are available for long-term use: purchase for a month or a year. If you need a universal blocker for any system, Clario is not the best option among competitors.
Comodo
The main functions are malware tracking and YouTube ad removal. It is used as an open-source extension for Chrome. It also provides smooth Internet surfing on iOS devices.
Among the features for users, it offers whitelisting site management and customization of personalized web browsing. This YouTube ad block in Chrome has weaknesses and strengths. For example, the weaknesses include ignoring ads in game apps, as well as incorrect operation on some browsers.
