No change for me, youtube sure is trying but ublock origin keeps fighting the good fight
Gotta love those guys
Nope. FF with UBO still works perfectly.
Ssh! Yes, me too, but don’t let YouTube know that.
Oh! Yeah! I can’t watch videos without tons of adverts every 15 nanoseconds!!
No, they most certainly are not.
It isn’t blocking my uBlock Origin on Firefox.
I wish I could donate to ublock origin so badly. I never even saw the popup.
Ublock Origin on firefox still work for me no filter
Ya know, I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding Elon Musk spam in this community, and calls to “ban” them, yet every week we get gloom and doom posts like this when some new subset of the world starts seeing this shit. I’d really like to see a pinned message about the fix, which is…
- Install Firefox or a derivative, and add the uBlock Origin extension.
If you visit YouTube and see the pop-up, the page isn’t loading the video content, or it just seems to be acting strange, do the following:
- Click on the uBlock Origin brown shield in your extensions.
- Click the three little gears icon to enter the settings.
- Make sure you’re in the Filter lists section from the top and click the Purge all caches button below it.
- Click the Update now button.
- Wait until the filter update completes.
- Refresh the tab(s) that YouTube is in.
- Press play.
I literally have no other installed add-ons for ad blocking, anymore. Only uBlock Origin. Any time I see the message or YouTube starts acting up, I just repeat those 7 steps above for any YouTube tab that was already open, and viola, the video plays. It has simplified so many issues for me and reduced the number of adblock extensions I need to run.
I definitely plan on donating this holiday season to their team, probably the biggest share of the pie between the FOSS apps I enjoy and appreciate. Should uBlock Origin ever fail, I’ll just stop going to YouTube.
The element picker and disable JS button are also a life saver. Gets around so many shitty things about the modern web. The one thing I agree with from Brave (Firefox all the way though) is including uBlock by default (I just wish they gave credit).
Why not LibreWolf, a privacy oriented browser that ships with the real uBlock Origin? ;)
wdym with the rral ublock origin? 👀👀
Because Brave ships with a very limited ad blocker that is not uBlock Origin

Where is YouTube ReVanced?
Not mentioned, on purpose 🤫
For iOS I really like Vinegar.
Google is such a douchy company now.
It made an attempt for sure, a cute one at that 🤣
'tis?
Incognito mode is your friend. On Firefox anyway.

Good try Youtube 👍🏼
Do you REALLY think that Google is not able to block you altogether, if they really wanted to? The have permabanned entire companies and all the personal account of employees before for a misstep of one of these employees. It’s just a matter of time.
“If they really wanted to?”, they already tried and ublock published a filter to block it back.
TBH. I don’t think Google is using all of their firepower, yet.
That could be true. But if they decide to do that, they are gonna need to invest a lot, and if they success they are gonna lose a lot of viewers. Because for the mayority of the people, when you are use to ads-free, going back to ads its wonna be very difficult.
