YouTube - free and without the commercial interruptions - VA3KOT John - 2021-02-19
Recently, YouTube has clumsily inserted commercials into almost every video on its site. Video presenters are often interrupted mid-sentence. The intention is clearly to make the free version an uncomfortable experience and drive users to the paid version.
But, there is at least one way to watch YouTube without the intrusive commercials and without being forced to pay a fee. I access YouTube through the website youtube.com using the Brave Browser. Brave blocks ads and commercial interruptions. I haven't had any problems with this method yet although I am sure if it becomes widespread Google will find a way to block it.
