Giant annoying Youtube homepage ad.......

Anyone know if there's a way to get rid of that bigass ad that pops up on the top of youtube when you go there? It takes my laptop about 10-15 seconds to load that ad and I can't search anything until its done loading.
Im thinking just keeping youtube open all the time in another browser is the only way around it.
How greedy can billion dollar Google get?

There are some really basic add-ons for Firefox that eliminate ALL youtube adds, I had forgotten they even had adds until I used someone else's laptop the other day, haven't seen one in years...

Addblock Plus should do the trick on it's own. Not sure what other platforms support it other than Firefox..

this.
i have adblock plus and kaspersky content blocker, and between those i never get popups or rerouted to sketchy sites. i almost never see adds, and the ones i do see are pretty small and innocuous, like the shroomery sponsors. i also use a cookie blocker call Ghostery.
there are no adds whatsoever on youtube for me, unless you consider 'reccomended videos' advertisements

I use Ghostery too, great combo. Self Destructing Cookies is cool as well.

IF you're not using adblock in 2015, you have fucking issues.

Yeah I held out for a long time. Youtube used to be not bad but these days they are really pushing it with the ads, and I got sick of putting on some music to help fall asleep only to have Tai Lopez wake me up hocking his 67 step plan. They seem to crank the volume on Ads like TV stations often do.
Adblock is great. Since I got it I've blocked 50k ads and counting. Thats probably a day of my life that has been saved not viewing ads.
