YouTube is pausing the playback for 4 minutes or more.
I use Chrome. I had uBlock Origin extension loaded before Google blocked it so I can still enable it and use it. I'm not sure if it's region locked but for what it's worth I live in Canada. I have seen the violation pop ups but that hasn't happened for months. I watch a couple of hours a day of yt. What is happening lately is as I watch, the video pauses or freezes. When that happens im like okay, open a tab and cruise reddit for a bit. 4 or 5 minutes later the video starts playing again. None of my other tabs are affected so it aint my computer.

Ublock and Twitch
Hey all, been using Ublock on Firefox for a while now to avoid ads on twitch, but unfortunately it turns the quality really low during the ad. I never really minded, but recently someone told me their Ublock on Firefox doesn't lower the quality. I'm wondering if anyone knows how this person supposedly accomplished this?

Haven't seen anyone talk about these things which have been popping up this past month. UBO on Youtube has been super comfortable for me for years and I was expecting some kind of update to tackle these, but so far nothing.
Any solutions, preferably on UBO? (oh and Firefox)

Calculating how much time ive saved using a adblocker on youtube
My yt channel was created 2 Aug 2022
I used google takeout to export my watch history and the data says i have watched 608 yt videos in the last 3 years.
Assuming the average yt ad is 30 long and there are 2 ads per video.
Time saved per video = 2 ads × 30 seconds = 60 seconds Total seconds saved = 608 videos × 60 seconds = 36,480 seconds Total minutes saved = 36,480 ÷ 60 = 608 minutes Total hours saved = 608 ÷ 60 ≈ 10.13 hours
There fore by using a adblocker for 3yrs i have saved 10.13 hours of my life.

Finally got an Best AdBlocker for YT

Coffee Break For YouTube is a powerful, manifest V3 compliant ad blocker / skipper designed specifically for YouTube. Take a smooth, uninterrupted break from YouTube ads while enjoying your favorite content. This lightweight extension automatically detects and skips video ads, banner ads, and sponsored overlays, saving you valuable time. ⚡ This speeds up the ad up to 16x without blocking it, so a 30-second ad ends in about 2 seconds.

Anyone know of an extention similar to the Brave browser's Block element function for other browser's?
For context I wanna read stuff on the Asura scans site because they're some of the only ones that translate some series at a good quality but they have this annoying pop-up to buy their premium every damn chapter that covers your whole screen and you gotta wait 5 seconds to close, just an overall annoyance, and I've heard people say Brave's block element can circumvent it

Its time to move on ...
I’ve been a loyal Chrome user for years — maybe even decades. But my loyalty has been tested time and time again. After the latest update and the fact that adblockers barely work anywhere anymore, I finally decided to make the switch to Firefox.
So… RIP Chrome, and hello Firefox fellas!

A soliton to YouTube war on ad blocker
If like me you are frustrated with YouTube constantly forcing you to disable you AdBlock so you can watch videos I have a potential solution.
obviously besides switch to another network (like Firefox, which I haven’t done due to having Gmail and having a YouTube account tied to that) You can still use adblocker, while YouTube disables it try refresh the video and that might work.
If it doesn’t (which if often donest for me) I recently downloaded a video control speed and use that. For the one that I use I press the x button on my keyboard to advance video by 10 seconds, this allows me to “fast forward” through the adds. (not going to post the link here as I don’t know if that allowed just type video control speed on whatever browser you use)
This steps are easy
1 disable ad blocker (so that you can get past the stupid “no adblocker allow screen)
2 use the video control speed whenever and ad starts to fast forward through the ads. If you get to the end and you see the “skip ad” button just press it and the video should play.
To be honest, It’s a bit if a mixed success as sometimes YouTube says I need to disable ad blocker (which I already did so that I can use the video control speed download that mentioned before)
Also, while I disable or turn off adblocker I DON’T remove it completely as sometimes (usually on Wednesdays for whatever reason) it works as intended and skips the ads for me

I can't believe people are still struggling with finding a good adblocker
There are 2 simple options that have been working reliably for a long long time, in almost all browsers:
- Adguard Browser Extension + Adguard Extra (free, open source, good enough; Adguard Extra is for blocking some special cases like Twitch...)
- Adguard for Windows (not free but a bit better, more powerful)
Make sure to:
- remove all other adblockers, disable the browser's built-in one
- remove any extensions that could modify some pages and trigger adblocker detection

Does using adblockers take away money from youtubers?
