I’m sure there’s a better fix, but I found that if I block the pop up, I can’t click anything on the screen EXCEPT I can right click and do picture in picture and can play and do everything I need. If I go back, I can at least see what I want to watch, click it, then do pip.
FUCK ADS
No issues with:
- Firefox+ uBlock Origin (PC)
- Freetube (PC)
- NewPipe (Android)
- SmartTube (Android/Google TV)
Same, I never saw a single ad on YouTube and I use it a lot
I can confirm the first 3 are working for me as well.
AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)
I’m just waiting for the day DRM comes to other ad-riddled websites…
I’ll go back to irc, I’m over this current internet, we need a new one.
I always wanted to get into IRC, where should one start?
Not feature complete, but I use Brave Browser and PIA on iOS. Never a single ad.
I have to manually start some videos in a list, restart speed settings regularly, arrange my watchlist in the YouTube app, and deal with other weird issues, but No. Ads.
Prior to this I was just going to (i) > stop seeing this ad, but they recently took that away from me and that pushed me off the app. My current setup has a lot of issues and is still less annoying.
Hmm…
So I only use Brave for YouTube. I definitely won’t be recommending it, but I’m torn between whether I’m being a leech of ad-free user generating what should be near zero revenue or if I’m being valuable as a number to ad to user counts.
If you are using chrome, ditch it and use something like braver or firefox.
We are already in 2024, which means that Chrome probably does not support manifest-V2 anymore. (What an unexpected turn of the event)
YouTube Unhook has started failing to auto-click the Skip Ad button as of today, I noticed.
Brave usually zero ads
Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.
If you have the means, you could self-host a Piped server? Otherwise, try out https://piped.video.
I’ve been using ProtonVPN on my router with adblock and antimalware features enabled, and uBlock on Firefox and I’ve never encountered a problem when I click on YouTube links.
I normally use invidious anyway.
I don’t see any issues with ublock
Like the majority I am using Ublock and Firefox, but I’ve noticed over the last month it is very slow to catch up to YouTube ads and I’m seeing them make it through a lot more often.
Did you delete Google and Youtube cookies when you reloaded the UBlock stuff? That’s a necessary step.
Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.
