[Linganth] Youtube Videos in Class: What to do about ads?

Tue Jan 19 17:45:07 UTC 2016

Since AdBlock has come up multiple times, it's worth noting that AdBlock
Plus has an "Acceptable Ads Program" where corporations can pay money so
their ads can still be seen by users. A fantastic alternative that doesn't
have that function is uBlock, which is actually a bit more lightweight of a
program than AdBlock anyway. You can download uBlock from:

*Chrome:*
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm
*Firefox:* https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
*Safari:*
https://extensions.apple.com/details/?id=net.gorhill.uBlock-96G4BAKDQ9

Best wishes,
Josh
