Amazon offers an option for an ad-free streaming experience. For an additional $2.99 per month, you can subscribe to the Prime Video Ad-Free plan. You can activate this upgrade directly on the Prime Video website or app, enabling you to enjoy your favorite series and movies without interruptions.

Disadvantages
If you watch Prime Video through a web browser, you can use adblockers to block Amazon Prime ads, for example the Chrome Add-ons Ad Skipper for Prime Video or Prime Ad Skipper. These browser extensions filter out ads and provide a smoother viewing experience. However, note that the effectiveness of adblockers may vary depending on the browser and Amazon’s updates. Amazon might also take steps to bypass adblockers.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to change your IP address and access content from other countries where Prime Video may show fewer or no ads. For example, countries like Luxembourg or the Netherlands reportedly have fewer ads. However, be aware that using a VPN might violate Amazon’s terms of service, and your account access could be restricted.

Disadvantages
If advertisements on Prime Video are too disruptive, you might consider switching to another streaming service that offers an ad-free experience. Platforms like Apple TV+ provide content without additional advertising costs. It’s advisable to compare the offerings of various platforms to find the service that best suits your needs.

Netflix:
Disney+:
