This may not always work but I found that refreshing the youtube page skips the 
add. Sometimes I have to do it twice to succeed but other times the add keeps 
repeating for no apparent reason!

David,

Yes, it can be done. A button labelled "stop Ad" usually appears a few seconds 
in, near to the bottom right hand corner of the video screen. Now, whether you 
can get to it with a screen reader I'm not sure. I have some residual vision, 
and can just about see enough to prang it with the mouse. May be you can find 
the button with the virtual cursor, but usually the sound will be blasting away 
by the time the button appears. You could try finding the mute button first, 
but by then the ad may well have played out anyway. Sorry, it's possible, but v 
v awkward.

Vince.

  Hi list,



  A friend has asked me to find out from this list how to stop adverts running 
on Youtube.  He reckons it can be done.



  Thanks in advance.
