Besides that this was heavily commented a few hours earlier in another thread, everyone can play YouTube videos without ads via VLC.

Is VLC a YouTube application or not? Because it doesn't use HTML[5].

Yes, but this is a hidden feature :)

Sorry ;-) I only want to thank you then!

The Youtube lua script in VLC breaks often. If you don't keep your VLC at head it becomes very noticeable.
