AdBlock Plus erases YouTube's clutter and contentious Google+ comments Nov 22nd 2013, 16:28, by Ian Paul AdBlock Plus from Eyeo is expanding its mission to clean up more than just annoying Flash ads. The browser add-on still blocks online ads—except for the whitelisted ones—but ABP is now turning its attention to information overload on popular social networks. The latest social site to fall victim to ABP's editorial pen is YouTube, thanks to the new YouTube Customizer site. The feature helps you banish all the bits of the video site that annoy you, while keeping the ones you enjoy. To get started, you must have AdBlock Plus installed on Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. Next, just visit AdBlock's YouTube customization page to start blocking YouTube's various "features." YouTube as you see it now, with none of AdBlock Plus's features enabled. (Click to enlarge.) If you're generally annoyed with the current state of YouTube you can block everything but the video you're watching. The list of banished items includes comments, suggested videos, featured and recommended videos in the end screen, the sharing tab in the description, in-video annotations, and channel recommendations.
