DuckDuckGo browser now blocks YouTube video ads

DuckDuckGo has released an update to its browser that blocks most YouTube video advertisements, including pre-roll and mid-roll ads.

Why it matters: End users concerned with ad blocking and privacy gain a built-in feature, but website administrators and content creators relying on YouTube revenue should monitor adoption of competing browsers and ad-blocking capabilities.
