   Hi Marco,

   Can you please provide a few links to videos on which you're seeing these ads?

   I've noticed this on any video I think. No ads appears anywhere, but in the
   video, the video ads appears with a different style, the yellow bar isn't
   present and the skip button with the timer isn't there as well (There is no
   way to skip the ad but reloading). I don't have a link right now but as
   soon as I get this problem again I will send it.

   Hi Marco,

   We've just released an update to AdBlock for Safari, version 2.34, which improves the removal of pre-roll ads on YouTube. AdBlock updates automatically, but you can also update it manually.

   Can you please let us know if this fixes the issue for you?

   Hi!

   Others are reporting they're no longer seeing YouTube ads in Safari with the new release of AdBlock. I'll close this discussion, but please feel free to reopen it if you find you're still seeing ads.
