YouTube playlist issues

Good morning, I am using Firefox on my desktop with Ublock. I don’t mind waiting a couple of seconds for video with no ad.

But recently I have not been able to use playlists. When I try to use a playlist I have put together or an existing one, the first song or 2 will play and than, YouTube will just play whatever it decides to play next, completely exiting the playlist.

Has anyone run into this issue?

Thank you!

Brave Browser is allowing some ads through even when blocked by DNS

I've just found that Brave Browser is allowing some ad domains through even though I have aggressive DNS and blocking on my network.

This can be proved by:

Running ad block tests such as https://adblock.turtlecute.org/

See that all Doubleclick ads are failing the block test as well as one of the Google ads domains.

Now turn OFF Brave Shields up, or set Brave to "Allow all trackers and ads", the page refreshes, and those categories are now totally blocked by DNS!

Brave must be using their own DNS blocking to allow domains like this on my network. Has anyone experienced this and have a workaround? I'm guessing maybe if I block whatever DNS server Brave uses might do the truck but haven't dove in yet.

I'm just shocked by this, Brave is obviously getting some google money here with these shenanigans, and this definitely reduces my trust in Brave, after happily converting from Firefox a few years ago.

Nextdns deleted my post

I posted a detailed audit of dead blocklists in r/nextdns, and instead of engaging with the data, the moderators simply deleted the post. Since they seem unwilling to discuss this, I'm bringing the technical facts here to get a community perspective.

Please clean up dead and outdated privacy/adblock lists (Detailed List)

"Hello NextDNS Team,

First of all, thank you for a great service. However, many users have noticed that the Privacy and Security tabs in the dashboard are cluttered with completely outdated, abandoned, or even empty blocklists.

Having lists that haven't been updated in years defeats the purpose of modern privacy protection and can even cause issues. I took the time to go through the dashboard and manually compile a list of outdated or broken blocklists that should be removed or replaced:

☠️ Completely Dead / Empty Lists

• Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List (Empty, 3 years)

• 1Hosts Mini (Empty, 1 year)

• 1Hosts Pro (Empty, 1 year)

• Energized Spark / Blu / Blue Go / Ultimate / Extreme Extension / Regional Extension / Basic (All empty, \~4 months since abandonment)

❗Outdated / Abandoned Lists (2 to 6+ Years without Updates)

• Disconnect Ads / Malvertising / Tracking (6 years old)

• NSA Blocklist (6 years old)

• MVPS Hosts (5 years old)

• Antipopads (5 years old)

• Unchecky ads (5 years old)

• Shalla's Blacklists (adv / tracker) (5 years old)

• WindowsSpyBlocker (Spy) (4 years old)

• CAMELEON (3 years old)

• yhosts (3 years old)

• AdAway (3 years old)

• notracking (3 years old)

• Lightswitch05 - Ads & Tracking (3 years old)

• ad-wars (3 years old)

• AdAway Blocking Hosts File for Japan (2 years old)

• add.2o7Net (2 years old)

• bkrucarci turk adlist (2 years old)

• Personal Blocklist by WaLLy3K (2 years old)

• Latvian List (2 years old)

• No Facebook (2 years old)

• Goodbye Ads (2 years old)

• Barbblock (1 year old)

Keeping these lists active gives users a false sense of security.

Suggestions:

Please remove the dead/empty lists.

Thank you for looking into this and keeping NextDNS up to date!"
