Hello everybody. I originally intended to make this post on the Ublock Origin subreddit, but the Mods there deleted my post. I believe most people here use Ublock due to recent intrigues with YouTube, etc.; but basically, recently (about 3 months ago) I've been having a problem with Ublock Origin on YouTube.
I use Edge Browser and use three extensions: Enhancer for YouTube, Return YouTube Dislikes and Ublock Origin. As previously stated, from 3 months onwards, I have been having a problem.
Normally, when I saw a video in the normal browser tab, but I didn't want to see it in the conventional tab, I always clicked with the right mouse button on the link in "Open link in a private window". With this new error, it would "play" an ad before playing the video. I say it this way because it simply placed a black screen with a loading circle in the center during the ad's screen time, and it didn't give me any option to skip the ad, just this black screen with the circle in the middle. In the bottom left corner, the ad's draft number also appeared, which was usually 15-30 seconds. and when the ad ended, it either redirected in a dry way to the video in question, or it showed a screen with the ad image, a "learn more" button below and the option to skip.
This doesn't happen with static ads; images, which are located in the corners of the site, around the player. These continue to be blocked normally. The problem is only with video ads.
I don't know (or don't remember) if these bugs appeared in the middle and/or at the end of the video, I primarily remember them appearing just before the video started.
I can't update the Ublock extension. I'm on version 1.57.2, and I can't find any place in Edge to update it to the latest version (1.58.1rc11). Earlier today I tried removing and re-adding the extension, but it's always version 1.57.2, no more newer versions. It does not show the option to clear the cache.
Remember how this only happened in the private tab? Not anymore! Today, it started showing this error in the normal tab. That's why I decided to come here. Ublock has support on GitHub, so I created an account only to find out that I need to "give the deeds to my house" because of all the bureaucracy involved in opening a complaint there, so I decided to come here.
I don't know if it's like that here too, but I think Reddit is a safer place to talk about this.
And yes, I know I should use the mega thread (there's a giant post on the Ublock subreddit talking about YouTube problems) above, but I want a faster, more direct answer and to help other people who may be experiencing the same problem . Also, I'm not an expert on this extension stuff. I also don't have that much time to read the mega thread.
Is anyone having this problem too? Is there a solution?
