Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.

    For which mobile and what extensions manager?

    I’m blocking ads phone-wide, I just don’t use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

      ublock is more efficient in the browser than any dns based blocking, as it can (and does) make changes to the website itself

          you have said this

          I’m blocking ads phone-wide

          I wanted to let you know that such a countermeasure is not as effective as confining untrusted parties into a web browser with ublock

      Firefox for Android has uBlock Origin (and lots of other useful extensions). You do need to set Firefox as the default app for YouTube links, but after that it works perfectly.

        I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

        I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn’t, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

        Bottom line is I don’t see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is “surprised more people aren’t using” it like it’s the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It’s best for PC but not for mobile.
