Top Apps to Skip Ads While Watching Online Videos

Streaming videos on your phone is a great way to fill spare time, especially while you're out and about waiting for the bus or relaxing at a coffee shop. But having to watch a minute long ad after every ten minutes of video can be extremely annoying. Luckily, most ads are skippable after a few seconds, but if there isn't a skip ad option you can still block video ads completely with a download of an ad blocker to your iPhone or Android device. These blockers help block ads in apps and very effectively stop pesky ads and pop ups on phone browsers such as Google Chrome or Safari. Never again will you have to worry about getting a YouTube ad every 2 minutes when you're trying to catch up with your favorite vloggers.

If you love to have hours of fun in the evening cuddled up in bed and watching Hulu movies on your computer, you'll have to get a separate adblock for your computer to enjoy uninterrupted viewing. You can easily download a video ad blocker as an extension for your Apple or PC browser of choice, for providers like Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox. These extensions not only block the ads that play in the middle of videos but can also help block the banner ads that pop up on the bottom of the screen or the ads located in other areas around the web page. It'll save your computer the effort and bandwidth and, of course, save you time from watching ads or having to exit out of them.
