Luna VPN not working again with YouTube this afternoon
I hope they are actively working on fixing it, because my wife has had to turn off the VPN in order to watch YouTube. Unfortunately, the ads are driving me up the wall!
We use Luna VPN on iOS, and the YouTube official app. As far as I am aware, on desktop Firefox and uBlock Origin are still working.

Youtube adblock popup even when I disable my adblocker
Title sums it up. I still get the popup on YouTube and cannot watch any videos even when I whitelist YouTube or completely disable my adblocker. It even happened when I completely uninstalled it. Does it have something to do with Malwarebytes maybe? Getting really frustrated as I'm trying to watch videos for schoolwork!!!!

New computer, can't get rid of icons in google results on firefox
I copied all my adblock plus filters from my old computer that has them filtered. Everything I can find on the internet says the following line which I have on both computers should be doing it.
I'm not an adblock expert, I've just found stuff to add to my list for the random shit on the internet that annoys you, what am I missing?

My multi pronged approach to blocking ads
I have several methods to block ads and the method I use depends on what device I use and what ads I am trying to block. I don’t use any one method to block ads. Everyone should change their default DNS server to ether Adguard or another ad blocking DNS server. Doing this will block a lot of ads on its own including ads in Google Play apps. I also found that connecting to Albania will block Twitch ads. I know a lot of people were looking for ways to block ads on Twitch, so I thought I would post it.
- Adguard DNS server:
- Use VPN to connect to Albania, Moldova, or Russia
- Front end YouTube apps: Grayjay, FreeTube, Revanced, and Newpipe (Android)
- IOS front end apps: BrowserTube Pro and YubePiP
- Browsers with Adblock built in: Brave Browser, LibreWolf, and Vivaldi Browser
- Mod APK apps
- Alternative stores like F-Droid and APKPure
- Use ublock origin or Adguard Pro
- Download the video using an extension. Locked videos and DRM protected videos need additional tools
- Use Adguard DNS to block ads in Google play Apps and games

Now they've gone too far (Youtube + AdNauseam)
Recently, my AdNauseam blocker in Firefox broke on Youtube again. In the past I used to use a trick to fix it (which I won't be posting on Reddit, just in case a disgruntled Google employee might come across it), but this didn't seem to work at first. Then, when I tried it on another system, Youtube worked perfectly fine. What I found out, is that when I logged out on my laptop, Youtube was fully functional, but as soon as I logged in, I got the "We want more money, quit blocking our ads" page. Somehow, the usage of AdNauseam has been linked to my Google account, and clearing cookies won't help anymore. Suffice to say, I'm pissed off. Anyone know what to do now?

Adblock for safari help
Personally, I prefer to use safari over other web browsers, and the ad guard has done a decent job so far and has been able to bypass the anti-adblock YouTube uses. however, yesterday everything stopped working and YouTube has been able to detect again. I have tried the old tricks such as emptying caches but nothing works. Is there an Adblock that works for YouTube on safari?

I figured out that if i connect to a VPN, the ads go away. Is it because the ads don't exist in the country I'm choosing or what?

YouTube: what’s the point of just seeing ads?
Many argue that blocking YouTube ads is unethical for content creators, with some even labeling it as piracy.
Aren’t online ads meant for engagement? Unlike television, online advertising traditionally depends on interaction.
If that’s the case, watching YouTube ads becomes entirely pointless if there’s no intention of clicking.
The non-interactive aspect is also futile, as the creator wouldn’t incur any losses if it’s solely about sales of the advertised products.
Am I missing something, or are some YouTubers assuming that Adblock users would otherwise engage with ads by clicking on them?

The anti adblock and premium users are communists?
I don't understand why people care what others do and nobody is forcing them to install adblock on their device. They can watch as many ads as they want. It would be one thing if the premium users enjoyed their subscription and went on their way, but noo, they also want to force everyone else to get premium as well. Lots of boot lickers for Big tech corporations. I know that not all premium users are like this, but many of them are.

Nothing in YouTube's TOS says says we can't use an Adblocker
I looked at Youtube's TOS to see if using an adblocker was really against their TOS like Youtube claimed and to my surprise nothing in their TOS says that we can't used an adblocker. You can correct me if I'm wrong, they are required to notify you ether by email or mail if they do change their TOS. I never got any email from Google about the change and I'm sure you didn't ether. They didn't expect people like me to actually look at their TOS and read it. Youtube was lying all along, so next time someone says "if you don't like the TOS then don't use their service" call them out and ask them to show you where in the TOS does it say I can't use an adblocker. If people start getting accounts banned then this could leave to massive lawsuits. If the EU plays their cards right they got Youtube by the balls. You can read the TOS yoursel and posted a link for it.

What does the “30,000” rule limit mean exactly?
Sorry if this comes across as ignorant, but I was reading online about the change to manifest V3, right. And, apparently only 30K rules are now allowed. What does this mean? Does this mean that after those rules are expired, you can’t block any more ads?
Thanks for clearing up all confusion :-)

AdBlock no longer working on NYPost.com
I can click the AdBlock option to hide something on the page, but two things happen.
1- If I click the scroll bar until the pop up is gone, the page no longer scrolls up/down. I refresh the page and I am able to scroll (no ad block pop up) but once the page fully loads I can no longer scroll.
2- If I stop the slider short of going all the way (90-95%) the ad is gone, but there is a gray tint/overlay and the site doesn't work until I press ESC to have the gray tint/overlay 'exit/close' although I'm not able to replicate that on another machine.
I'm using Chrome and I am also running ublock origin. I haven't had any issues up until a couple of days ago.
Thanks.

Chrome Manifest V3 Update
I just recently saw the news of the upcoming V3 Update to extensions, and, had a bit of a silly question to try to find some info regarding it. I use AB+ (UBO is one I considered for a bit but I've used AB+ for years and haven't made the swap). Will this upcoming change to Chrome in 2024 cause issues with that? Or has there been info on if the team working with AB+ will do anything surrounding that? Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question, I just want to be sure as swapping browsers tends to be a last option for me in the long run. Thank you!

Tired of trackers and ads - how do i start blocking it on ISP/router level?
hi,
i've been lurking on these similar subs for a while now reading everything from graphene OS, Linux, Qubes to raspberry pie and NextDNS.
im fast learner and quite technical, well at least at work..but totally suck regarding internet networks, servers, routers and everything with telecommunications.
could anyone provide me ELI5 guides or drop me a one where i could block trackers/ads on a router level?
would it be safe to change DNS on my ISP from default one and what will it do? what are the next steps?

The unexpected benefit of the now-phased out Macbook touchbar
I can apparently skip youtube ads super easily, without using an adblocker: when the ad. starts even though you don't have any controls on the screen, the touch bar allows you to forward them till the end. This tells me that, as expected, the video controls are only disabled from your browser and that there's a way to access them.
For those who are interested, comment below: if there's enough interest, I'll write some code that you can add to your browser so you don't have to see the measly ads ever again.

This method works great for Iphone users because they can't get Revanced on their Iphones. You can use a VPN to connect to Moldova, Albania, or Russia. Google ads are not displayed in those countries, so just use a VPN to connect to connect to those countries.

To block or not to block
I was using AdBlock, but alas, most media sites then detect it. So I choose allow ads, and refresh. That became mildly irksome, so I quite AdBlock altogether. Portland Oregon, has a local weekly arts & entertainment paper whose site is the worst, takes minutes to load and reload all the clock bait and targeted ads. Made me realize that their old news was not so important, and the reader comments are an instant recipe for depression and hatred of the human condition.

Years ago.
Many years ago I got an adblocker because the adverts on the internet were getting too intrusive. At the time there were banners that flickered and flashed in a potentially sezure inducing way that seemed beyond insulting and stupid. I don't know if internet adverts are still aiming at gross neurological insults like that, because I have not watched any since then, but it boggles my mind that many people are tolerating a regime where the adverts on youtube are longer than the video selected and I wonder about the state of consciousness or lack of it in anybody who is able to accept it like that. I have heard that many people simply accept the default internet experience that their device presents to them - and who are therefore being psychologically violated 24/7/365 That is an astonishing fact in itself to me. Who are these people we are sharing this planet with?

YouTube ad blocking issues - skipping ahead when starting video
So I haven't gotten the "adblock block" yet, however since a little less than a month I've had this thing where YouTube kinda starts loading the ad but doesn't play it. It'll be a black screen with a spinning loading icon, the timestamp indicates the length of the ad, and the text in the corner is of the ad. But the actual ad doesn't play, it just "buffers" on a black screen for a few seconds and then goes to the video. Which is mildly annoying but whatever, I can live with it.
However, as of today something new has been happening... When the video starts playing, it has skipped ahead a few seconds. The amount of time skipped is not consistent, like one time it was 16 seconds and another time it was 5 seconds. It looks like when you "resume" a video that you previously started watching. My totally spontaneous uneducated guess after this has just happened three or four times is that perhaps the time skip is the same as the length of the ad it was supposed to play? But I just made that up on the spot so I have no idea, just a wild guess.
Has this been happening to anyone else? Got any idea what to do about it? For the record I use AdBlock Plus
EDIT: I've tried browsing some videos just to see how this phenomenon works and the time skip does indeed seem to match the length of the ad that was supposed to play. Got a bunch of 15 second ones in a row and then a 1:47 one, and consistently the time skip when the video starts has been matching the length of the removed ad.

AdBlock paused on YouTube - I didn't do it!
After an unexpected reboot (rather than wake from sleep which is what i would have expected) and doing a reload of all the previously open windows / tabs on chrome, my YouTube appears to be working again...
But on one of my 8 chrome windows - the only one that's all youtube and nothing else - the AdBlock is paused.
On this window only, the AdBlock button on chrome is showing as green, and clicking on it shows that AdBlock is paused. Only i didn't pause it. And I can't seem to unpause / restart it on that chrome window
AdBlock seems to still be working on other chrome windows, including YouTube tabs on other windows. I can actually play the YouTube videos on those tabs without adverts and no warnings.
Something really weird is going on here though. Anyone had anything similar? Might be nothing, might be me doing something stupid, but thought I'd ask...

Help please! uBlock Origins adblocker not working with YouTube anymore
As of today YouTube has found a way around uBlock Origins and is now BLOCKING me by not letting any videos even play if their ads are being blocked. Now I get a quick popup that says youtube doesn't allow adblockers and uBlock makes the popup go away so fast you almost doing get a chance to notice it. Then you are provided a video that is 0:00 out of 0:00 and can not play at all. ALL videos are now like this outside of shorts... I have tried refreshing the page and videos several times and even put them into play lists and still no change. If I disable uBlock the youtube videos work once more as long as you refresh the page again. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Fadblock Subscription: Who's Winning the Ad War?
Fadblock, a recent open-source plugin that attempts to strike a balance between ad-blocking and viewing ads. After all, users put in the effort to block ads, and Google is equally determined to make you see ads. Whether it's ADG, ADB, or custom filters, they often become ineffective in just a few days, which is very frustrating.
At this point, an open-source plugin claiming to "fast-forward" ads appeared, and since it doesn't block ads, Google didn't seem to have any objections. They didn't request Github or the author to take it down. However, issues with open-source software have emerged. Maintaining a large user base is quite challenging. After all, many people use this kind of gray area software, which leads to numerous issues, and addressing them one by one is not very efficient. Additionally, most developers have full-time jobs in the real world, and they only have spare time for development and bug hunting.
So, the author introduced a paid option, which brought about some practical issues. The people using his plugin are those who want to avoid paying YouTube for ad-free content, which is why they use an ad-blocking plugin. If they have to pay the author to support this "fast-forward" ad plugin, they would rather pay YouTube directly.
In the author's GitHub project's issue section, there are many discussions pointing out that the author's actions are clearly motivated by making money. However, this also highlights that in the ad-blocking battle, Google always stands on the winning side, whether you pay or not.
Some people compromise and pay YouTube, while others don't pay but demand free ad-blocking services to catch up quickly. However, there still hasn't been anyone loudly declaring, "I don't want to use YouTube anymore!" in anger.

Any information on "AdBlocker Ultimate"?
I've been using AdBlocker Ultimate for a couple years now, and I've had no problems with YouTube's new anti-adblock measures. I just The message pops up and immediately disappears.
That being said I'm wary of keeping it on my computer because I can't seem to find much information on the developers. I also found this thread regarding some shadiness surrounding the app: https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1165748071382376451.
The only reason I haven't switched to uBlock origin is because it doesn't block the YouTube anti-adblock screen.
Any thoughts? Does anyone else use Adblocker Ultimate. I'm hoping someone more tech-savvy might know a bit more about this stuff haha
