What's the best youtube ad blocker for android? I watch youtube primarily on my tablet and wanted to know what ad blocker will work great with android or what do you use? I don't watch youtube on my pc.

I should have been clearer. I use the default youtube app. I don't access youtube through a browser and I surely don't have that firefox crap on my tablet.
How do I block ads with the android youtube app? I'm not going to root the tablet or pay for a blocker. Looks like I'll continue to wait the 5 seconds to skip the ad. Not a huge deal. I was hoping for a free blocker that ran in the background but maybe that's not a thing.

Google Contributor or something along those lines would also be a nice way of doing this as long as the service has a large enough group of supported websites.I think websites should use the donation system. That's what I use on my own site. I think you might be surprised at how many people are willing to give a few cents or bucks here and there. Of course such a system needs to be easy and pain free from using. Currently PayPal is what most use for donations and that is what I use. But perhaps a secure addon like Authy can deploy a one click payment to a website with little user input. You could use Bitcoin, PayPal,Google Wallet, any number of funding sources.
People actually use Youtube without an ad blocker?
How dare they attempt to make money for a service they provide you for free and don't force you to use?
It's my right as a MOTHER FUCKING AMERICAN to use the entire internet for free. Not only should You Tube not be allowed to have ad's and make revenue. They should PAY ME to watch their videos.
Thank god for ad blockers, I don't care if they have to sell crack to make enough money to stay up and running. Just as long as I'm not inconvenienced to be forced to sit thru a few ad's here and there.
What do you expect when you use services provided by an advertising company?
Really ad blockers probably would not be used as aggressively if the ad companies have not pushed people to make them in first place. Had they sticked with static non animiated non flash banner ads it would be bearable.
bullshit, I bet 95% or more of people who run something to block YT ad's would still do exactly the same thing even if all YT did was show you 20 seconds of ad's for every hour of videos you watch. Every site that had ad's is a recreational site, don't like the ad's? That's perfectly fine, just don't go to the site then. It's not like when you log on to your city's web site to pay a bill they have ad's that could infest your computer. Nobody needs to run an ad blocker, regardless how annoying people find ad's, and the possibility of spy ware. It's like people who go to a bar and complain how the drink's are so expensive. Nobody forced them to go, and nobody forced them to drink once they got there. People who block ad's are leeches plain and simple.
The problem with youtube adds are that they are not all the same length. Some are 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 2:30. I wish they were all 6 seconds and I wouldn't have to look at the screen to press skip. Most youtube content can be listened to without watching.
The sheer prevalence of malmare infested ad networks and computing resource hogging makes any anti-adblock moral crusade moot. I'm sure pro-ads people like Quebert will be so first in line to pay damages done to malware victims and mobile bandwidth used for ads.
