SmartTube does not show any ad banners, preroll ads or ad intermissions. It not just tries to prevent them, it is literally programmed to be completely **unable** to display any ads, so YouTube cannot slip anything in. This also means you cannot allow ads or whitelist channels. Some YouTube channels include sponsored messages in their videos, these can also be skipped, see [SponsorBlock](#SponsorBlock) below.

SmartTube focuses on a clean and distraction-free interface for watching media content. The app does not include advertising UI elements and focuses on playback and browsing experience instead.

### Voice Search

To enable global voice search, an additional app must be installed alongside SmartTube. This _bridge app_can intercept the System's attempts to open the original YouTube app and open SmartTube instead. For this to work, you must uninstall the original YouTube app. We know this sucks, but you can always reinstall it if you change your mind. The _bridge app_ will not show up in your launcher and you cannot launch it directly; it is only used internally by the system's voice search. On some devices, you need to explicitly say "Youtube" when searching (e.g. say "youtube cute cats" instead of just "cute cats").
