This man just won the internet!

I never see ads on Youtube, regardless of browser. I just checked my FF and Opera for extensions and there's no adblock or anything related. I am also using Chrome with no extensions except for mouse gestures and still see no ads on Youtube. Why? As a negative, some videos on sites never load at all.

I think the only mod I've done is a hosts file pointing some sites back to 127.0.0.1 but youtube wouldn't skip the ad part completely because of that.

Maybe you don't watch videos with ads? Private videos many times don't have them. It's mostly commercial videos, or private videos that have commercial content that get ads.

Just watched a whole bunch of music videos (VEVO) including Miley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrUvu1mlWco and this car comparison for example, no ads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCoWi_wU-oM

Weird. I get ads if I use Midori private mode(addons get disabled), but they're gone as expected if I use Midori full mode, or Firefox full mode.
