i use ublock origin
reddit still good for something: Filter Lists-->uBlock filters-->uncheck the "ublock filters - quickfixes" box and then reload the page.
this worked for me
Yup, I use ublock origin and have never had issues on YT.
They do random testing. I've received one of these a couple of times with unlock as well. Google/yt has not fully committed.
I hope they don't commit. But if they do, I guess that'll be the end of YT for me...
Sometimes I have to use YouTube rawdog for work and it's unusable, if I want to skip forward in the video to reach the solution to my problem I get an add every time I click the timeline.
If you need it for work, why don't you have YouTube premium?
I don't speak for the person you are asking, but for me the reason is that google is evil, and huge. They don't need my money, and I wouldn't pay them for any reason.
I expect that if the workplace officially needed to use YouTube, then that workplace would be paying for that subscription. But if its just that sometimes someone wants to include video from YouTube in a presentation or something - then probably not.
The way they worded it, it sounded like dealing with YouTube was their job, like maybe managing a company's YT account. So yeah, I totally expect a company to pay for YT premium. I'm certainly not suggesting they do it, unless they're a freelancer or something.
Yeah you and a lot of people. There's a couple articles about it but essentially there's some talk of pushback.
And personally for me there are alternatives that people could use. While not a lot of people are on it, peertube is a viable alternative. I've watched a couple of small creators on it and it ha good performance. Just a very small audience.
Makertube is one of my favorites.
Awesome.
The day FireFox and UBlock Origin stop working with eachother completely. Might be the day I just uninstall all of my browsers and use my PC more personally than before.
I didn't screencap it but today on YT I was given a modal that said I was using an adblocker (ublock) and I have three more videos before they require premium. I changed VPN locations and stopped getting the message.
Fuck reddit, this solution did not work for me. All YouTube videos stop buffering after 59 seconds. Only fixes i have found is with either making a custom userscript or disabling ublock from working on YouTube by whitelisting the entire domain.
Or you could download freetube and be done with it
Only one of my three computers was having this problem, but this solution worked for me as well. Thanks for sharing it here!
Yea this is also what I had to do to get things moving again.
Rip chrome. It just killed ublock for me yesterday
Huh, I was able to just close the pop-up and play the video as normal.
I just gave it 15 minutes and they started working again.
Yep, used the reddit solution.
I find the adblock yt prompt only shows now when I try to open two tabs of YouTube. Second tab has this message but the first plays fine. I think ublock probably deployed a half fix already
