I tried DuckDuckGo's new video player, and it blocks YouTube ads for free

DuckDuckGo has launched a new built-in video player that blocks YouTube ads for free, eliminating the need for extensions or a YouTube Premium subscription. This feature functions by default on YouTube and other platforms. The Duck Player is currently available for users on MacOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. This development comes as Chrome continues to restrict the use of traditional ad blockers, providing a native alternative for users across various operating systems.
