    And I have Ghostery ad-blocking installed....

    Some videos unwatchable with interruptions every minute or so...

    Everyone claiming viewers have the option to 'skip' ads after 5 seconds but that is NOT the case for us Canadian viewers now. I"m seeing ads for t.v. stations and local news programs that last 30 seconds and cannot be skipped.

    That's your problem right there I use UBlock and never ever see any ads at all.

    Ya, I have Ghostery but it doesn't seem to work for youtube. It's still good though otherwise.

    Can you send me the link for UBlock? Is it free? Anything to stop those annoying advertisements on youtube or anything else.

    Haha, never mind, I noticed your link.
    U Block is working! No ads on youtube so far. Thank you so much Bill Barilko

    Chrome warns that UBlock can:

    'read and change all your data on the websites you visit.' whatever that means....

    Ads up to 5 mins now on Youtube Canada. No skip option. Getting 30 second ads every 4 mins for longer documentary vids. Really suddenly amped up.

    I can't remember the last time I saw an add-get with the program.

    Getting only French ads on Youtube today. Did something change?

    Probably a CRTC thing ie. not enough ads in French.
