Only thing stopping me from ditching chrome after abandoning IE for the last six years.
How to block ads on Youtube with IE10?

Do you mean the ones imbedded on youtube videos? If so I don't think you can with IE 10, but you can block normal ads that appear on websites etc with tracking protection lists. You can add them by opening the manage add-ons window in IE, and they update automatically.
I recently switched to IE 10, seems much faster than Chrome!

Damn I did mean imbedded ads 
I agree about chrome though, never thought I'd go back to ie

So far. Not so keen on IE10,purely because ABP is so awesome on Firefox and Chrome

It is definitely much faster. I have also wondered if there's a way to block embedded ads in IE.
LOL Waterfox? That's cool!

Hi folks, sorry for resurrecting the thread, but I am wondering if anyone has had any joy finding a free solution to block ads with IE10.
I have been using Chrome for the past few months, but for various reasons I am switching back to IE10.
The only bugbear I have with it is the silly advents, mainly the 30 second adverts prior to watching a clip on youtube, ign etc. I guess what I am after is the same functionality as adblock plus except with IE10.
I have tried mucking around with the tracking protection lists with no luck, any experts out there able to help?
Thank you in advance.

IE adblocker, sorry don't really use IE. If you used firefox, you could get adblock plus & do it, I have it & no youtube vid. ads. ABP also is for chrome & opera.

it wasn't until very recently that i even knew adverts existed in youtube videos. you're clearly using the wrong browser.
Perhaps!
I need to access a few sites for work related purposes that use remote login, these only function 100% correctly using Internet Explorer. (I have tried various IE compatibility add-ons/plugins for Chrome etc but it is always fairly glitchy).
I am surprised IE does not have a solution to the adverts, very disappointing.
I will play around for a little while longer before giving firefox a go. It would just be more convenient to be using a single browser rather than 1 for work, 1 for surfing.
Obviously I would prefer a free solution, has anyone found a paid for solution that works flawlessly? (although I guess most people wouldn't bother and would switch browser).
I have found the following sites claiming to adblock:

Haven't tried it myself, but Trixie is an addon for IE (shows up under tools) - it's basically greasemonkey for IE. You can then do whatever you want with it. Youtube auto buffer is a nice script for removing adds and forcing settings etc.
