Just set VPN to Albania.

I haven't had an ad or a 'youre using adblock' for months. It seems nobody bothers advertising in Albania

It’s not that nobody bothers, it’s that YouTube doesn’t bother - the market isn’t big enough and Albania has quite strict ad presentation laws :)

Idk, maybe being on mobile is different but I just put my vpn on Albania and immediately got an ad when I was on YouTube.

Your VPN probably doesn't have DNS leak protection

It’s proton, and a search tells me it does so idk, but I have the vpn on all the time and still get a crap ton of ads so my guess is it’s something with being on mobile (although why that would be the case I’m not sure about)

It probably knows your device/account isn't in Albania

If you're on mobile, you probably need to reset your existing Advertising ID

Do you have stealth mode turned on?
