Best Macro to Block Ads appearing in YouTube ?

[augustya]

I have seen a lot of Macros made in the Templates section of the Macrodroid APP guys who claim that their Macro is to block Ads appearing in YouTube. But all of those claims were not true when I tested the Macro. Does anyone have a suggestion on a Macro which for sure works on blocking Ads in yourube ?

Also is it only Skipable ads that you can block using the Macros or even the Non-Skipable ads ?

This app uses less battery and data than any macro for ad blocking. You can also enable Sponsorblock if you want in the settings: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe

Ok Firsly I am new to using Macrodroid on top of that I have never ever downloaded and installed anything on my phone using Github ? So how do I download and install this Polymorphicshade on my Phone ?

You can download it here: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.21.10

If it doesn't auto download, click the version number. Open the download, APK with your file manager and follow the steps.

It's a great app, I use it all the time

So why cant we have a Macro for it ? Are there no Macros built for this purpose ?

There are but i believe they usually work with a loop that constantly clicks the "skip ad" text, which may use alot of battery and they also can't skip the first "unskipable" 5 seconds of the ads so it is still crap in my opinion.

I have also been using NewPipe, it really is way better! Not only does it have zero ads and sponsorblock but it also has a pop-up player and very usefull background player.

NewPipe can download videos as well.

It is compatible with SoundCloud and some other services from the left hamburger menu

In which case, press Templates and press top rated and click the YouTube ads skipper a the top and press the white + button. The macro itself may have instructions to follow

But none of them sadly are doing anything ?

That's why we suggested apps. Are you using the same system language as the macro is? If it clicks a button in English but you are using another language it can't click it.

What does your system log say? Green tile

Just prefer "YouTube Vanced" app !
Just pay attention to downgrade to 15.43.32 after installation, just to have the Cast feature working properly.
