Anybody know of a good apk that blocks ads while watching YouTube on my phone app ?

    I don’t have a good ad blocker for you other than AdAway. It won’t block YouTube ads on an unrooted phone, but it can on a rooted one. You can try in-browser mobile YouTube with Firefox + uBlock, but I would suggest switching away from the native YouTube app and getting NewPipe with SponsorBlock from F-Droid.

    EDIT: Corrected link to current NewPipe.

        Highly recommended. You can even export your subscriptions from YouTube and import them into NewPipe. But that’s for another thread. I use NewPipe almost exclusively now, having YouTube links pull up in NewPipe. No ads. And with SponsorBlock, you can skip the in-video ads (with community-driven data). Not to mention, you can also stream music from Bandcamp, and it supports PeerTube, etc, as well.
