If you do not like viglinks then copy and past the URL, if its available, in a browser window then it will bypass it...  VigLink is a San Francisco-based, outbound-traffic monetization service for publishers, forums, and bloggers. VigLink specializes in in-text advertising and marketing. Wikipedia |

It seems it dose not switch viglinks off when you turn off a add blocker on the site (I tried Add Blocker Plus, and uBlock and turned them off and even removed them and no change), this is down to Proboards who hosts the site so not me, so if you see a vglink you can refresh the pages and it take about 5 seconds after you refreshed it before it changes the link into a viglink so have 5 seconds to click on the link before it changes, that the only way you can do it, click on the link before it changes. As a test, I have removed all my extensions from Google Chrome and from Microsoft Edge and the viglinks are still active when they shouldn't be, maybe its a bug they do not care about, because when I asked about it they said it was a old issue, and turn off the add blocker don't turn of the viglink so they are on continuously. You can test it here: projectcarouselusb.eu refresh the page then click on PCUAE link strate after its refreshed the page then you will bypass the vigflink... |

Just tested it on the DuckDuckGo Web browser and viglinks are enabled on that too so the hell is the site seeing to enable them, well it does block adds, but it shouldn't be doing it now the site is advert free...?
No they are enabled even if you buy add free so no point buying add free then, it does not disable them.
I just cancelled Add Free, no point to it, so once it runs out use your add blocker to block the banner add at the top of the page and hide its element, click on its space where the banner bar would of being so it disappears the space there.

I've been using DuckDuckGo for a browser for several years on android devices (phone, android box, etc) because I don't like big G's politics or the fact that they use your information to profit further and push their agenda, and haven't seen an ad on most sites including this one since using it.
For "Big Tube" I use NewPipe. It's an open source app. No ads also. You can also do things like play videos in pop ups or as audio only with the screen on your phone off to save battery life (useful when playing something while driving or to fall asleep), or download videos (useful when going camping where cell phone service might not be available). You can also subscribe to channels, create playlists,and all that jazz, you just can't thumbs up or down or comment because you aren't officially logged into their big brother app.
One thing that confused me after using it for years on a phone was searching for an Android TV box version. Turns out they're both the same app. Even if it says it's not been officially tested to run on your Android box, it ran just fine for me. For some reason my android box won't automatically update the app, so when a new version updates on my phone I just transmit the file to my android box downloads folder. Then when I launch NewPipe it sees the file and asks if I want to update it.

Yep I agree, I only use Google Chrome because I use its extensions, and DuckDuckgo Web Browser do not use them, I do use DuckDuckGo search engine and its search page so not Google search engine, I use Dashlane Password Manager (I have been using it from when it was first released, July 6, 2009 it use to uses a app that you installed on the PC originally, now the app is part of its site so part of its extension, the password you sign in with on Dashlane is not stored on the site so Dashlane can not be hacked for its passwords, if you lose it and have no way of getting in then you will never be able to log in to it again without the original password) and Fluff Busting Purity (its a add blocker for Facebook) extensions.
