I recently noticed how much energy and focus I lose when watching DIY solar setup videos on YouTube — the endless ads totally kill the mood and distract me from the content I actually care about (like efficient off-grid systems or eco-friendly battery setups).
I tried a few browser plugins, but most of them either slowed down my device or stopped working after a while. The only one that’s been working smoothly for me is Stands YouTube Ad Blocker (https://www.standsapp.org/youtube-ad-blocker/).
It blocks YouTube ads without messing up the site layout, and what I appreciate most — it's lightweight and doesn’t drain resources, which for me, as someone using solar-powered setups on the go, makes a real difference.
Figured I’d share in case anyone here is also into off-grid living and wants a cleaner, ad-free YouTube experience while researching eco projects.
