YouTube Vanced has some advantages over the official application developed by Google. For example, it is capable of playing music in the background, even with the screen off. However, one of its strengths is advertising blocking.

You may be thinking that what follows is a long tutorial on how to eliminate advertising with Youtube Vanced. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this YouTube mode, the ad blocker is included and activated by default. Meaning that, in order not to watch advertisements, you have to do absolutely nothing.

YouTube Vanced eliminates virtually all YouTube ads. For example, those that appear before the display and all those that break into the middle of the content are automatically blocked. However, those ads embedded within the interface are displayed normally.

The differences between YouTube Vance and the original application can be seen in the following screenshots. Any advertising shown on the home screen or elsewhere in the application still appears on YouTube Vanced.

In this case, YouTube Vanced offers the possibility to manually remove these ads. This is an experimental function that can cause stability problems. To activate it, open the settings.

This way, YouTube Vanced will also block ads displayed on the home page.

There is a difference when we start a video. In YouTube Vanced, playback begins immediately without ads, while the official application displays a commercial before playback begins.

As you have seen, in essence, this module emulates the functions of the YouTube Premium subscription service for free.
