How to Watch Youtube Without Ads for Free

Tech News: After Google filed a legal complaint against the site, the YouTube Vanced video streaming app was taken down. Vanced is a clone of YouTube’s premium edition that allows you to watch videos without ads and in the background. The service will be shut down in the next few days, and all download links will be erased, according to the owners of Vanced.

Those who have the app installed on their phone can continue to use it, according to the Vanced Official Twitter handle. However, they will no longer receive upgrades, and the software will most likely become useless after two years.

Vanced is essentially a free premium version of the YouTube app that removes all of the obnoxious video commercials that come with most free YouTube accounts these days. Vanced has its take on the dark motif, and its popularity has skyrocketed in the wake of the recent news.

Kiwi Browser, which uses the same Chromium engine as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, is another non-app choice for consumers. It has web extensions that may be installed to stream ad-free videos, and you can use your account to sync your viewing history, leave comments, and so on.

According to sources, Google gave the Vanced team a stop and desist letter, which claimed that the platform must delete all references to YouTube, modify the logo, and erase any connections linked to YouTube or its products.

It’s not clear why Google chose to take action against Vanced after so many years. YouTube Premium probably contains a lot of royalty-free content, and the company wanted to prevent any future legal battles with publishers or music studios.

YouTube Premium, the original software, allows you to stream videos, download material, and, most significantly, play them without turning on the screen.

Vanced has been discontinued. In the coming days, the download links on the website will be taken down. We know this is not something you wanted to hear but it’s something we need to do. Thank you all for supporting us over the years.
