A coworker just asked if this method would block youtube ads. No, it will not. Youtube serves ads on the same line as the video, so this will not stop youtube ads. To stop youtube ads you can use an app called Newpipe . Only problem with newpipe is you cannot log in. To download newpipe at that site look at the version and scroll down til you see "assets". Click the apk file, itll download to your phone. Install.

Some browsers on android that use ublock or adblock addons may be able to block youtube ads if you use the browser to go to m.youtube.com instead of the youtube app.
