When you want to enjoy Hulu but don't want the pesky ads that come with it, you have options:

1. Use an ad blocker.
2. Get an app.
3. Use a browser that blocks ads.
4. Reload your Hulu TV show.
5. Open two browser tabs.
6. Upgrade your Hulu plan.

Hulu (No Ads): For $14.99/month, you can watch most of those same shows and movies without the ad breaks. Hulu (No Ads) excludes a few shows that play with ads before and after the video. Starting October 12, 2023 the price of this plan will increase to $17.99/month.

Use a Chrome Extension Extensions like Hulu Ad Skipper, uBlock Origin, and Adblock Plus block Hulu ads for many users. Note that many of these extensions are for Chrome web browsers, but since Edge is a Chromium-based browser, you can also install these extensions there.

Here's a detailed price breakdown of every Hulu plan:

What you're watching, where you're located, and what you've streamed previously can all help us personalize your ads so they're relevant to you. Features like Ad Selector (which presents 2-3 different options so you can choose the ad that interests you most) also give viewers control over their experience.

Due to streaming rights, a few shows in the Hulu streaming library will include a short ad break before and after each episode for Hulu (No Ads) subscribers. Please note that this list of shows is subject to change.

So if you only subscribe to regular Hulu it does remove basically all the ads. However if you subscribe to Live TV that gives you a bunch of extra on demand content from all the networks in it. All of this will still have ads even with no ads, as no ads doesn't apply to it.

As the name suggests, the experience is ad-free, so you won't see any commercials at all, making for a more Netflix-like experience. The ad-free plan is also a solid choice if you use Hulu frequently, particularly to watch hour-long shows. This way your bingeing experience is uninterrupted.

So just to say, "Hulu no ads" never gave you a completely ad-free experience to begin with. I personally don't mind paying to have less ads, but if you're thinking the cost makes a difference for you, well, you were never getting an ad-free experience anyway. So go for it.

Hulu Basic is the company's simplest option. For $5.99 a month you'll get access to their entire catalog, but you will have to watch some ads as you stream.

Thousands of Shows & Movies Get full access to the Hulu streaming library – a $7.99/month value. Watch full seasons of exclusive series, classic favorites, Hulu Original series, hit movies, current episodes, kids shows, and tons more.

How to block Hulu ads on Smart TV? Since Smart TVs have operating systems like Android, you can easily get an ad blocker from the Google Play Store. In this case, download the Surfshark VPN application on your Smart TV and enjoy an ad-free experience.
