Don't get me wrong, I don't want to make advertising for other apps, but I stumbled upon the app ' AdClear' on XDA which works in the same way (local VPN) than AdGuard on non-rooted devices. Now I have done some research about blocking ads, especially about 'encrypted' ads because it was a pain in the neck that YouTube can't be filtered natively anymore by AdGuard. To the developers of AdGuard and interested users: And of course this modded version offers besides the ad blocking a lot of useful other customizations. That's the most easy and comfortable way to block YouTube apps while using AdGuard for all other apps. That's it! In the latest release, it doesn't require you to uninstall the original YouTube app, you can safely run it beside it (but I recommend to deactivate it).

Installation is easy, just go ahead and install the latest non-root version.

It's called ' YouTube Vanced' and is free to download and use, developed by well known people from XDA. The only solution for non-rooted devices, is to use a modded version of the YouTube App - and you guessed right - there is a very nice one. Sadly, right now Adguard isn't able to help us.

That's true, but how can we still achieve a 'clean' YouTube experience? This thread is mainly for those of you, how have a non-rooted android device and want to get rid of the YouTube Ads and of course for the developers of AdGuard.Īccording to this (sticky) post, it is no longer possible to block ads in the YouTube app.
