DuckDuckGo's browser now includes a feature to block most video advertisements, notably those on YouTube. This functionality leverages open-source filter lists from uBlockOrigin, with DuckDuckGo applying its own rules for enhanced compatibility. While the feature is enabled by default for most users on iOS, Windows, and Mac, it may cause slightly longer buffering times and occasional issues. The ad blocker is accessible in the browser's settings for all platforms. AI
