I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.
these privacy extensions all overlap anyway.
Huh I still have these addons active, and it still works with pihole, ublock and Firefox …
Android: https://newpipe.net/
For PC: https://freetubeapp.io/
Or you can try switching your VPN to a European location while using Ublock. I think YouTube’s anti-adblocking violates EU privacy laws
Edit: fixed formatting 🫠
Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn’t stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.
I have also heard of https://revanced.app/ for mobile, but never tried it.
This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced
I think revanced . net should not be trusted
I have edited my post to address that, thank you
Here is a website that keeps track of the latest YouTube anti-adblock scripts and if uBlock Origin’s filters are updated to bypass it: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/
I personally don’t use Youtube (I prefer using Libredirect with Piped/Invidious) but I tried Youtube on Firefox with UBlock and I didn’t have any problem. This might sound dumb but what filters do you use on UBlock? I have read that turning on some filters would help with this but I’m not sure.
I haven’t had a SINGLE adblock message when I use YouTube with Adguard + Ublock origin and the FF “strict” option for privacy.
But I also don’t log into any accounts.
My wife was getting messages all the time (logged in) with the same adblockers. I installed an add-on that speeds up ads so fast that you don’t even notice them. LOL Problem solved!
I’m logged in and it works with pihole, ublock and Firefox.
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 events)
For PC: Libredirect plugin on firefox and point it to freetube (Freetube.io)
For Android: Grayjay (https://grayjay.app/) (Sideload it, don’t install from the play store)
For IOS: Pick an invidious instance and ponder the bad choices that led to you using an apple product.
Use libretube, which is free software, unlike greyjay. It’s on F-Droid.
Grayjay has a much better user experience and incorporates multiple platforms, sponsorblock, etc al.
Libretube is ok at best. Newpipe+sponsorblock via Izzy on droid is better in every way.
Grayjay is also different, as it aims to be another platform for content creator monetisation
If you have the means, you could self-host a Piped server? Otherwise, try out https://piped.video.
Piped.video
I don’t see any issues with ublock
I uninstalled and reinstalled ublock and restarted my computer and it worked amazingly. I’m sorry if it doesn’t for you! Like others said, try clearing cookies/history/errything.
UPDATE: Ads. I was wrong. I will try updating again.
I get that warning all the time and it’s just a reminder to go update my browser and update all of my filters for ublock origin. After everything’s updated YouTube goes back to working
Are you using chrome or Firefox?
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
Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed
Yeah also on firefox
