AdBlock troubles with YouTube

Adblock seems to make loading of YT vids extremely slow resulting in a 15-second black screen with sometimes a "skip ad" button after it.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this or is there anyone that is having the same problem recently?

Best setup for Ad-Blocking ??

After a short research this is what I found so far:

Best DNS level Adblocking: NextDNS / Adguard DNS 2.0

Best system-wide endpoint level Adblocking: AdGuard / Blokada / StopAd

Best browser Adblocking: Brave Browser / uBlock Origin

Best self-hosted Adblocking: Pi-Hole / AdGuard Home


Are there any other recommendations worth checking out?

What do you think is the best combination for blocking advertisements on all levels and devices, including various end devices such as smart TVs and so on.

What is your #1 reason for using adblockers?

Many people (and I'm assuming everyone in this community) think that ads are "bad" or problematic; I am genuinely curious to hear people's main reason for implementing ad blockers.

(Is it to protect against mal-advertising? Is it because ads eats your device's data? Is it because you consider them distracting? Something else)?

Interested to see what seems to be the largest reason or if there are some alternative/obscure reasons.

Ad blocker that works for YouTube ads for Android?

I've got a moto g7 and I'm trying to prevent YouTube ads. So far I've tried "AdLock" as well as "AdGuard" and in both cases, after installing and flipping the On switch, and then opening a YouTube music playlist, ads still played. Am I doing something wrong, and/or is there a simpler universal ad-blocking solution for mobiles?

(Maybe worth mentioning that I'm not very tech savvy with smartphones. Blocking ads seems an easier task in e.g. Chrome on PCs: just install AdBlock Plus and it works universally. On a smartphone however, I'm a little lost.)

Thank you

Is this extension just giving up?

The button to manually remove ad components on a page is gone. Also there are ads EVERYWHERE on this page. Time to get a different extension.

Removing Reddit pr,omoted etc posts

Whenever I use Reddit on my computer there are so many posts I never asked for and am not interested!

Promoted, because you visited, similar to, popular videos, because you've shown interest, popular on reddit, the list goes on... It's truly ridiculous how much bullcrap there is! I just want to see the subs I actually follow, instead of 50% being idiotic recommendations. Me angery.

Any way to fix this?

All ad-blockers are failing to block ads on Twitch, it doesn't matter the extension or the browser

Is this happening to you guys as well? Now whenever I try to watch a streamer who has ads on it shows a screen saying "commercial break in progress".
Does anyone know what is happening?

My philosophy for ads ANYWHERE is, if I see the ad, I will NEVER buy it

If I want to buy something, I go to the store or look for it online. Don't want my innocent eyes exposed to this tumor-ridden invention. Ads have started showing up (Twitch and Youtube).

Been using Chrome, but ads started showing up. Switched to OperaGX and turned on the adblock there, but it's still showing up.

/rant over, thank you.

Is the Adblock Chrome extension for youtube good and safe?

Note: sorry I am new to this.

Very good reviews and seems safe. But I hate the following message upon installing: Ad block can read and change all of your data on all websites

Is this a concern?? It seems many extensions say that though...any help would be appreciated from those who are familiar with this. Thank you!

A Couple Years of Ad Free Enjoyment on Twitch Comes to an End

I have Adblock+ and Ublock installed. Twitch was working just fine with ads for a while, but since a couple days ago it looks like it has found a way to bypass my adblocking add-ons.

It's fucking irritating watching a streamer pulling off a sick play then.....bam! 3 ads in a row starts playing for no reason. That shit is so obnoxious that I just close the tab and I am no longer interested.

Twitch keeps finding a way around adblock for me

Best adblocking dns for android? (UK)

I was using adguard dns but noticed my speed dropped so turned it off. DNS test says that my ping for adguard is 20ms and current dns is 1ms - would this difference even be noticeable?

Also, is there a way to connect to public wifi while using adguard dns? (or any others)

DNS list randomly changes resulting in total meltdown of network

For some reason - the IP address my AdBlock listens on changes. Occasionally it'll be a list with two IPv4 addresses and 2 IPv6 addresses, other times it'll be a single IPv4 address (which doesn't play nicely since I use IPv6).

Is there something off with my configuration? Running it on Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Thank you!

Scrub anti adblocker sites from Google search results ?

I'm on mobile and I use a custom DNS with various block lists.

Sometimes I come across a site that demands me to switch off my adblock security. It's annoying.

Rather than enter the arms race, is there a list of these sites somewhere and a way to delete them from coming up in Google search results.

adblock for YouTube app on Samsung?

I'm looking for an ad blocker that I could download on my Samsung phone that would block ads on the YouTube app. My options on the play store are limited and don't look super trustworthy to me, or they only work on browser apps (I use Firefox and they have the built in adblocker extensions). I'm ambivalent about using something downloaded from a website for obvious reasons, any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a chrome user and have used ad block, ad block plus, ublock origin, total adblock, almolst every ad blocker you can think of and I STILL get ads as if I don't have the extensions enabled. I did all the tricks, turned off acceptable ads, cleared cookies and cache, and I even tried using Microsoft Edge and still recieved ads on Twitch and YouTube. Adblock Plus was the first ad block I used and it was fine, then it just stopped working months ago. I'm in dire need of an ad block solution lol

Ads are getting past my ad blockers on the youtube site

I don't get the main ads that play before videos but I just found one above the recommendations area telling me about singles in my area.

I'm using uBlock Origin with a bunch of extra filters from [filterlist.com](filterlist.com)

also im using SponsorBlock to skip through parts of the video itself.

Im also using RequestControl with extra filters and LocalCDN

also im about to start using NoScript on top of the ones I already have, because apparently even ublock and all the other shit isnt enough to beat youtube.

SponsorBlock doesnt work for me anymore. Not sure if its just my browser.

So I was just curious if youtube is getting better at defeating these adblockers, or if there have been anything thats changed with adblocking in general and if you have any tips.

Which DNS server to use on Adguard iOS ;

Hi On iOS, which DNS server to utilize on Adguard? I’m not very knowledgeable in this and I‍ was using Adguard DNS over QUIC. I’m not sure if thats the best one to use, I only used it because Adguard had sent me an email stating how better this protocol is. However, since using this protocol I can’t seem to update filters while the local VPN is connected, I always have to turn off Adguard then update the filters and turn it on again. I’m not seeing the same issue when I changed the DNS to DNSCrypt. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all!

Best filters to add to my custom filters from github and filterlist.com?

Brave mobile adblocking is sub par compared to fennec with ublock. To even the playing field I enabled some additional filters. Plus I enabled cosmetic filtering in brave:flags.

I already have vpn adblocking from a hosts file on netguard.

With all that being said. It is still subpar.

That is where filterlists.com comes into play.

What are some custom filters you have implemented that made a BIG difference. To make it powerful like ublock.

Currently Brave's adblocking doesn't even block reddits ads/proms.
