Youtube keeps trying to reload video when using uBlock Origin on Brave

For the past month or two, each time I open a video, it tries to reload itself (the video timer keeps resetting) and the video won't start until I refresh the page.

Not sure if this is a uBlock Origin/Brave issue or if Youtube got more annoying towards users with an ad blocker.

Youtube ublock/badger unusable/slow ui

Hi, having issues with youtube specifically.

latest Firefox + ublock (advanced mode), privacy badger.

I am able to block the ads but youtube is doing something to the ui.

Some of the time when I scroll down nothing loads at all. Takes 30 seconds for next set of videos to load on the main page.

Most of the time youtube works fine for first hour or so (doesn't matter if I am using it or the tab is just open) and then it starts to slowly slow down and lag. Things take longer, clicks become unresponsive. Closing the tab and reopening does not help. Closing and reopening the browser window does until it starts again.

Any ideas what is causing this and how to remediate?

Ocassionally ads sneak through ublock but its usually temporary

Spotify blocking

I am using Adblock on OpenWRT and it works well. For Spotify specifically, it is working great in the browser on my PC.

However, it does NOT work on my Android phone in the app on the same network. I have verified that it still uses OpenWRT Adblock for DNS, however the Spotify app is still an egregious ad-fest.

What's the difference and is there a solution? I still want to use the app on my phone instead of the browser because of Android Auto.

Advice, tips?

Is it possible to block ads on multiple devices(computer or not) through a network?

I primarily adblock on PC through uBlock but some of my friends I live with use smart TVs & or Roku & they typically use ad supported tiers of streaming services & Tubi ads can't be blocked on those platforms through typical means since they're apps & not on browsers. I heard of something called Pi-Hole developed using Raspberry Pi but I think it was originally made for Linux so not entirely sure if it can be used or how effective it is on Windows but from what I've heard about Pi-Hole it allegedly can block ads on any device if it's connected to the network it's associated with & could possibly block ads on Roku & smart TVs. Anyone think it's possible to do it this way & has anyone had success trying it?

BLOCKLIST / WHITELIST Anything on YouTube w/ P2P No-Server Device Sync Free Open Source and sponsored content cards too

BLOCKLIST / WHITELIST Anything on YouTube w/ P2P No-Server Device Sync Free Open Source and sponsored content cards too

Update: The most requested feature is now fully usable in a much stronger form - Whitelist + Private Sync.

FilterTube now supports:

  • Full Whitelist mode (only allow what you explicitly choose).
  • Works across YouTube Main + YouTube Kids.
  • Profiles (Independent + Child) with PIN protection.
  • Import your subscribed channels with single tap as WHITELIST too.
  • And now the important part: secure P2P sync across devices (no central server).

This means:

  • Your rules (blocklist/whitelist) are not stored on any server
  • You can sync across devices privately
  • Works the same for personal use or controlled environments (kids)

So effectively:

Current state:

  • Stable on YouTube Kids
  • Minor rough edges still exist on YouTube Main (being worked on)
  • Import + Whitelist flow is working
  • And yes new improved UI for app and website too :)

Next:

  • Mobile (Android / iOS)
  • iPad
  • Android TV/ Fire TV

Context:

This started because parents were asking for basic control tools and got ignored:
https://support.google.com/youtubekids/thread/54509605/how-to-block-videos-by-keyword-or-tag?hl=en

One parent literally said they were helpless and asked me if I can do something. That stayed.

FilterTube.in will always remain:

  • Open source
  • Runs locally
  • No tracking
  • No data collection

Now evolving into:

  • Whitelist-first control system
  • Private sync layer (P2P, no server)

Working continuously based on real feedback and real use cases.

Why the fuck do people not use an adblocker

My friend complained about way too many ads on youtube and the new 90 seconds of unskippable ads and when i told him to install an adblocker he said it’s too hard. Like what the fuck is so hard about it you go to a extension strore click uBlock (origin if on firefox) and enable it. Why is it so hard?
