I've noticed that the adblock issue on Twitch showed up with the current filter where instead it's buffering lately. I saw a post for it a couple months ago and it looks like, at least the code base for that original adblock script, hasn't been fixed. Has anyone seen anything recently that might work? I don't like this annoying infinitely buffering thing.
One of my favorite games on my phone is Words with friends but it has a ton of insanely annoying ads after every play! I'd buy it but their game is a stupid monthly subscription scheme to get rid of ads. I'm not paying $10 a month just to get rid of ads. I'm hoping there's another solution. I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
As a macbook user I use friendly streaming, and it helps with taking away ads on youtube just fine in my opinion.
I used the Sblock expansion for over a year since the last time Youtube blocked adblocks. Now it has been disable in the manner that if you turn Sblock on, the video won't load, citing internet error.
When I disable Sblock, it works fine (of course with ads now). I just downloaded "Adblock for Youtube" extension and it works fine (Minus a 1 second displaying the network error but after that it loads fine).
It was so nice, I’d always used VPN on Albania, and my YouTube experience was amazing. But in the last two days, the ads came back. Is it just me, or are you having the same issue?
First , thanks to everyone here who recommended the Firefox + uBlock Origin combo. It's been a lifesaver.
I had to use a fresh browser today for some testing and visited a few news sites and a cooking blog. It was a total nightmare. Between the giant "cookie consents," newsletter popups, and auto-playing videos, I could barely even find the actual article.
The modern web feels literally unusable without filtering. It's like a high-stakes game of Minesweeper just trying to find the tiny 'X' to close the junk.
Does anyone else feel like browsing without an adblocker in 2026 is just self-torture at this point?
I’m using Firefox +obu and improve tube. But especially in videos 1h+ I still get ads but mostly German ads, they’re definitely less than regular. But I still fucking hate them
Does anybody have a fix?
