PLEASE HELP!!! I want to create an uninterrupted YouTube experience.

I don't use other platforms like TikTok, IG, or Facebook. My go-to platform is YouTube. And lately, ads have been killing me. So, I decided to build my own app with an ad-free experience. The idea is simple, I just create lists of my favorite videos from YouTube on this app and I can enjoy it without any interruptions. Because videos are embedded apparently there are no ads attached to it. I've been already testing it on TestFlight mode and it works fine.

I just wanted to reach out to this community to ask if anyone would be interested in testing this app with me. I’m open to any discussions and suggestions for features you believe would enhance your video viewing experience.

If you're interested, please comment below or send me a direct message, and I'll ensure you're among the first to receive an invite when the app goes live.

is google buying adblock?

I've been hearing some intense stuff lately about google taking over adblock. There's a lot buzzing around, and it sounds like it's not all good news. For starters, there are rumors floating about harassment and bullying incidents, and it seems like there are even some legal battles brewing over what's being called unlawful layoffs. I am not into conspiracy theories, but isn't strange that adblock is allowing ads on YouTube?

But here's the kicker – amidst all this chaos, they're apparently rolling out donation campaigns. Now, get this: it looks like these campaigns aren't just for any old reason. Word on the street is they're trying to finance salaries to the tune of $200K. Wild times, huh?

HELP MOBILE ADS

I’ve been playing this game, but there are so many pop-up ads and I don’t want to pay for them to be removed. I have an ad blocker for websites, but does anyone know if you can add an ad blocker to a mobile game?

Need help for a good adblock

Hello, I am a first time user of an iPhone and I got annoyed by how so many ads can get pass through my AdBlock, for context, I mainly browse the internet to read manhuas and webtoons. I already have uBlock Origin, Ad Skipper, Adblock Plus. Even using brave the ads are still there.

Youtube doesn't load videos

Is anyone also experiencing that when using AdBlock (In my case its uBlock Origin) Youtube doesn't load the videos? its just loading for ever but when you turn the adblocker off, videos load as fast as they did. Is the solution out yet? This just happened to me today, tried different adblocks and all did the same, updating adblock list doesn't work and the "Purge All" button in uBlock Origin was disabled some updates ago as i read in another post.

YouTube potentially slowing down accounts known to use adblock?

This may be heavily circumstantial, as I've only seen a few other instances of people discussing the possibility of a sort of "soft-banwave" resulting in many people who use adblock to have their youtube videos buffer extensively, even when their adblock is off. The only known fix I've heard is outright signing out of your account, but this of course bars you from accessing your account-specific recommended videos. For the record, I've been using Ublock Origin for roughly a year now and I use Opera GX with the built-in adblock disabled, since I've heard it causes complications. Even after updating filters and clearing my cache/cookies, I've had extensive slowdowns on every video despite the adblock function still working.

Let me know if any of you have figured out an alternative fix or have experienced this yourself.

[MacOS] What's blocking Google ads? Is there any system wide content filter that I'm missing?

I'm trying to load a website but it keeps giving me an error message that I'm using an AdBlocker. But I'm unable to identify what's blocking it.

I've closed AdGuard, my VPN, NextDNS, Little Snitch and the MacOS firewall. I've tried three different browsers (some of which dont have any extensions installed). I've tried three different user accounts.

I can see in the developer tools of Chrome and Safari that something is blocking https://www.googletagmanager.com and https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com

How can I find out what's blocking it?
Is there any system wide MacOS network filter that I'm missing?
