So, you’ve installed AdBlock on your browser to avoid those pesky ads that pop up everywhere, but now you’re wondering how to allow ads specifically on YouTube. Luckily, it’s a simple process that can be done with just a few clicks.
First things first, locate the AdBlock extension in the upper right-hand corner of your browser. It usually appears as a small icon that resembles a stop sign with a hand in it. Click on the icon to open the AdBlock menu.
Once you’ve accessed the AdBlock menu, look for the option that says “Don’t run on pages on this site.” This setting allows you to whitelist specific websites where you want to allow ads to be displayed, in this case, YouTube.
Click on the “Don’t run AdBlock on” option, and a dialog box will appear prompting you to enter the URL of the site where you want AdBlock to be disabled. In this case, you would enter “youtube.com” to exclude YouTube from the AdBlock filter.
After entering the URL, click on the “Exclude” button. This action tells AdBlock to allow ads on YouTube and prevent the extension from blocking them while you browse the site.
Once you’ve excluded YouTube from AdBlock’s filters, you should see the AdBlock icon change to indicate that ads are now allowed on the site. The icon may change its appearance or display a message like “Allowed” to signify that the changes have been made.
To ensure that the changes take effect, reload the YouTube website by refreshing the page. This step ensures that the alterations made to AdBlock’s settings are applied correctly and that ads are now permitted on the platform.
Now, when you watch videos on YouTube, you should start seeing ads playing before or during the content, as AdBlock will no longer block them on the site. This adjustment allows you to support content creators and the platform by viewing the advertisements they display.
Remember that you can always reverse this process by revisiting the AdBlock settings and removing YouTube from the excluded list. If you decide to block ads on the platform again in the future, simply follow these steps in reverse to re-enable AdBlock on YouTube.
By following these straightforward instructions, you can easily allow AdBlock on YouTube and customize your ad-blocking experience to meet your preferences. Whether you choose to see ads or not, having the flexibility to control ad visibility is essential for a tailored browsing experience.
