Any one-time payment alternative to YouTube Premium for Mac and iPhone to block ads?

honestly getting tired of these monthly subscriptions eating away at my budget every month. youtube premium is $14 monthly which doesn't sound like much but over a year that's like $168 just to watch videos without ads and get background playback.

the main thing I need is consistent ad blocking on both my mac and iphone plus background audio since I use youtube for music constantly. tried free adblockers but they're unreliable and don't work properly on iphone. initially i posted in the browsers sub and someone mentioned SwizzTube as a one-time payment alternative to youtube premium for mac and iphone but not sure if it's legit or actually delivers what it promises.

has anyone found a solid one-time purchase option that works on apple devices? would rather pay once upfront than keep getting charged every month for something I use daily.

A final attempt before give up _ A smal support will give a life for a family.

Im so sorry for posting here but I have no other way and this is my final attempt with a hope of some positive response and support for me to back on my track and feed my family.

I have been living in Dubai doing job for past 16 years as credit controller , debt collector and sales executive role and I worked the long 14 years in one company where I have started my career. I forcefully left this job and the reason is company is not approving my request for a long days holidays as i hav required 5 to 6 month for my mother's treatment as she has leg joint bond problem and it is so much painful while walking standing and almost everytime, so I decided to go for some long time better treatment to get rid of the pain.

I did the treatment in my home country for almost 8 to 9 months and she got some releif from the pain and I return again dubai on visit and abale to secure other job in a company in Hmariya Freezone and I worked there one year but again I forced ti quit that job as well for my mother,s other health issue as she has getting stomach pain continously and not going out the pain then I ade some treatment angain came back to dubai on avisit nd able to secure this recent job in dec 2024 ,this is where my problem has started and still suffering by mentally physically and financially and ging in to deep trouble daybbybday.

This recent employer not paying my salary since I joined and I have been forced to open labor case which was not finished yet as the employer was keep on appealing with fraud documents for paid salaries with additional case for claiming extra money from me . Finally all of their appeal was rejectdd and got final judgement in myfavor but not received the amount as they have again requested for monthly installment and I have accepted this one month ago to close this chapter especially to get my visa cancelled for new job oppertunities

Unfortunately I couldnot secure job in my grace period and I am on overstay with fines accumulating day by day. Now I am in a situation that I dont have any amount or savings to pay overstay fines and to book ticket. The other tragedy is my original passport is with a rent car company in Ajman because the recent employer have offered a car but they didnot provide and advised me to take from rent car with this passport security option and they said the rent will paid monthly to you or renta car company ., but they have not apid any rent amount after one month. Now my mother got again the stomach pain and doctor informed her to remove utirus within 2 to 3 months and it is 4 month running , she need my presents for any hospital treatment she do as I am the only son of her and I lost my father in my childhood itself. So I am the only one to feed my family of motherv, wife and my 3 small children ( two childs are in primary class and one is 2years old).

Now tell me guys what should I do now and how I can overcome his situation and back on my tracks. One great human being have helped me to pay my last month room rent when I made a post for laptop sale and he didnot take my laptop and I have to leave the bed space tomorrow as room owner strictly warned me to pay it today night or maximum by tomorrow morning before 10am.

Now tell me guys what should I do in this situation and how can I overcome this to back on my track.

I am hoping and requesting me some support even if it is small by getting from multiple people will help me to overcome this situation and allow me and my family to live.

I am ready to meet you in person or you can come to my place and I can provide any proof you want because I don't want to lose any help from those who wish to support me but doubt on genuinity of my post.

My Botim wallet account mobile no. is +971569283359 and please message me if you are not convenient to Botim wallet account transfer then I can share my bank details also.

Please guys just support me as your brother even as a loan but I have only the old laptop and my mobile in my hand but assure to I will give back as soon my situation comes in my favor for sure.

Youtube black screen loading

Hi there!

Youtube seems to be avoiding UBlock origin by still forcing you to wait before a video loads staring at a black screen, even if there is no ad. I even tried it with Brave, and had the same results.

Has anyone figured out a solution to this?

I'll be thankful for any tips.

Spotify not properly blocking Ads anymore with ublock lite? Page breaks when blocking Ads

The only Adblocker i got running is uBlock Lite on Chrome. Since yesterday i noticed that after a few songs on spotify Ads will pop up which will break the whole site. The Ad will not play, but so will nothing else afterwards. It will just show the Ad not playing instead of the last or next Song, i can't use any Controls like Pause, Play or Next Song and i also can't change the song manually. It will just stay like this until i hit F5. And if i hit F5 then the last song is gone and i have to look up what was playing last.

So my guess is its related to uBlock and they somehow try stuff to remove adblocks like google with youtube.

In the past the Ad would also not play but then it would go away and the next song would start.

Someone else with this problem? Been banned from the uBlock sub otherwise i would have asked there

Need help with Globe and Mail page

This site is the (probably) main news site in Canada. (Please. That isn't an argument to start here.) It's my 'go-to' site first thing in the morning. For far too long, I've fought with the main page to 'simplify' the display. To me, it looks much better (i.e. no distractions). But after I 'clean it up', a few days later, all the mess shows up again! I've contacted Stands about this, without a reply. So now I'm pleading with you all. How can I permanently address this malfunction?

How to fix YouTube's Adblock (Update)

YouTube violating your privacy and detecting an Adblock again?

I'm getting a few reports from users that are signed in on YouTube are getting error messages due to Adblock detection:

"Content is not available, try again later",

"Adblockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service"

and "Experiencing Interruptions? find out why."

First, sign out of your Google/YouTube account, and please stay signed out for at least 24-48 hours, that'll make YouTube take time to:

rotate you out of certain experiments,

drop Anti-adblock test groups,

assign a fresh player configuration,

and clear stuck experiment states.

Then close all YouTube tabs.

Then add these filters on the "User Rules" on AdGuard extension listed below:

@@||youtube.com/s/player/$script

@@||youtube.com/youtubei/$xhr

@@||youtube.com/yts/jsbin/$script

@@||youtube.com/api/stats/qoe?$xhr

@@||youtube.com/api/stats/playback?$xhr

@@||youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?$xhr

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, setTimeout, *, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, Promise.resolve, 1, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve, 1, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, requestAnimationFrame, *, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, setInterval, *, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, clearInterval, *, *, 0)

youtube.com##+js(aopr, yt.ads)

youtube.com##.ytp-ad-player-overlay

youtube.com##.ytp-ad-module

These rules prevent YouTube from detecting Adblockers and from using a 5-second delay, and several error messages due to its Anti-adblock detection (like "Adblockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service", "Experiencing Interruptions? Find out why.", and "This content isn't available, try again later").

Then clear caches, cookies, and all of YouTube's site data, then close the browser entirely, then open YouTube again without signing back in (until after 24-48 hours), then make sure it works normally, then when you are ready after 24-48 hours, then you can sign back into your YouTube account.

Targeted Ads Are PMO :-/

A colleague and I were looking up products online and thought one of us had gotten confused because hers showed only images of Black people while mine showed only young blonde women. But, nope, it was the same exact listing engineered to what were assumed to be our demographics. We logged out of our accounts to test the theory, and the default image on a product became an older white woman, which made sense for the product but was also more of a fit for her she said because her search was motivated by age not color.

While I get that perhaps people may respond to images they can "identify" with, it's a bit creepy and reductionist to mine data and boil customers' essence down to the most superficial aspects. I personally would much rather an ad with various different models rather than having some company or AI mirror back to me who they think I am and am comfortable seeing. While this may seem innocuous, the echo chamber created by algorithms regurgitating "you" back to yourself is designed to boost numbers, but when that goes beyond sales and engagement to reinforcing limited ideas and perceptions, it also increases the entrenched ignorance from a lack of expanded perspectives.

For example, I clicked on a few femicide IG posts out of curiosity, and now my feed is filled with male-bashing rhetoric that could poisin my mind if I didn't know amazing men IRL to counterbalance social trying to predict and force feed me what it thinks I want more of. I like learning from others who are male, female, young, older, or from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds because my world and the broader world they've exposed me to via travel, wisdom, and culture is so much richer for it. Heck, I learned investing from an 80-year-old neighbor who became ne of my closest confidants, definitely not from my blondetourage.

Kinda annoying that they believe everyone can only stomach those who look and think exactly like their socially constructed selves (yes, I know many are close-minded like that). It turned me off from buying anything. All we wanted was some darn face cream, and they had to go and make it weird lol!​ Vent sesh over. ​

Are ad blockers slowly losing the war — or just changing where they work?

It feels like ad blocking is very uneven now.

On browsers → still solid.

On TV apps, mobile apps, Twitch/YouTube → constantly breaking or impossible.

I’m curious how others see it:

• Where do ad blockers still work reliably for you?

• Where have you basically given up?

• Do you think this is temporary, or the new normal with server-side ads?

Deploying ABP without the EasyList default filter

I am pushing out ABP to use on one specific webpage, I have a custom filter list using ##Software-display (this is a specific pop up on a niche software) as a block. I noticed that this did not work and tracked it down to the EasyList that comes preinstalled. When I disable the EasyList my custom filter works, when I enable the EasyList the custom filter does nothing, not sure what they are fighting with.

Is there any way I can push out ABP with custom settings or at least without the EasyList so my custom filter will work? Or at least a way to automatically disable/remove the EasyList after the install?

Was initially using uBlock but a lot of the customers are using Chrome and uBlock Origin does not work with Chrome anymore, and I could not find a way to use custom filter lists to deploy with uBlock Lite.

To what extent is using multiple adblockers "forbidden"?

To what extent is using multiple adblockers "forbidden"?

The title may be self-explanatory, or potentially confusing.

Does the rule against using multiple adblockers on the same browser apply only when they are active simultaneously?

In my scenario (macOS), I use AdGuard Mini (formerly AdGuard for Safari) for overall ad filtering, and uBlock Origin Lite (extension) exclusively for YouTube ad filtering (mustn't forget to mention SponsorBlock ^_^).
I lean toward the customisation available on AdGuard (even mini), but being incapable of blocking Youtube ads, I resorted to uBOL.

Since the two have mutually exclusive website access, can there be any downsides to having both installed?

AdGuard Mini allowed to access all websites except youtube.com.

uBlock Origin Lite denied access to all websites except youtube.com.

YouTube Isn't Recognizing When my Adblocker is Turned Off

Like many people, I use an Adblocker when going on the internet. However, as many of you have experience, YouTube doesn't like Adblockers and prevents me from watching videos when I have it on and gives me a notification to turn it off. When this happens, I usually do. But, lately, YouTube has been doing this even when my Adblocker is turned off. And I don't think this is intentional since it is still telling me to turn it off even though it already is. Can anyone explain to me what's going on here and how to fix this?

I have a mac laptop and want to download an adblocker. I tried uBlock Origin Lite but it says it requires macOS 13.5 or later, and my laptop says it is on macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and up to date. I am guessing this is because it is an older model and cannot be updated further?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I want to use it to browse the web mainly if that matters.

TotalAdblock are scammers from beginning to end . Click on nothing ,download nothing and never, ever give them any money. You will never see your money again if you give money to these crooks.They are refusing to refund my 85 year old mothers mistaken payment. I am not the first Reddit user to say beware of TotalAdblock....you have been warned !

What is the “Youtube++” of today ?

about ten years ago I downloaded this off brand version of youtube with no ads & the ability to download videos from some website ( I truly don’t remember how or where it came from ) , every few months it would get shut down & I would wait a week or two for a new version to download but it was shut down for good the last I checked

Does anyone have an alternative they would recommend for an iphone ?

Is there an adblock that does not get detected by YouTube?

I'm using uBlock Origin on Firefox and when I'm on YouTube I experience the following:

- No playback speed control the first time I visit a video. I have to refresh.

- When I hover my mouse over the playback bar I don't get a preview frame of the video at that timestamp.

Is there a way around this? I don't see a lot of talk about this so I assume I either missed all the threads talking about a solution or I'm the only one experiencing this.

Make YouTube Great Again (Fix YouTube Lag/Adblock Detection) Extension

Make YouTube Great Again (Fix YouTube Lag/Adblock Detection) Extension

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I’ve been frustrated by YouTube’s recent aggressive measures against adblockers—from the annoying "Ad blocker detected" warning banners to the artificial throttling (slow video loading) if you refuse to disable your blocker. On top of that, the site just feels heavier, causing CPU usage spikes due to tracking bloat.

I realized that m.youtube.com (the mobile site) is much lighter, loads instantly, and doesn't have the heavy scripts that slow down the desktop version. But... using the mobile site on a PC usually feels terrible (no keyboard shortcuts, weird layout, poor navigation).

So I created LiteTube: Fix YouTube Lag & Adblock Detection.

What it does:

  • ⚡ Lightweight Speed: Redirects videos to the mobile version to save CPU/RAM, but injects custom CSS/JS to make it look and feel like the Desktop player.
  • 🚫 Ad & Sponsor Free: Strips ads directly from the JSON payload (intercepting the player response) and includes built-in SponsorBlock. YouTube does not detect the blocking (no "Ad blocker detected" screens or warnings).
  • 🎹 Desktop Controls: Restores J/K/L shortcuts, volume controls (including arrow keys), and adds a proper visual volume slider.
  • 🔄 Advanced Player Features:
    • Loop Button: Dedicated toggle for single-video looping directly in the overlay.
    • Speed Control: Visual slider to adjust playback speed (0.25x to 4.0x) instantly.
    • Copy Timestamp: One-click button to copy the video URL at the current time.
    • Background Play: Aggressive logic to keep audio playing even when the tab is minimized or screen is off.
    • Force H.264: Option to enforce the H.264 codec for better hardware acceleration on older devices/GPUs.
  • 📱 Better Navigation: Adds a full sidebar with Trending, Subscriptions, History, Watch Later, Liked Videos, Playlists, and "My Channel" access.
  • 🖱️ Shorts Support: Enables mouse wheel scrolling for Shorts.

Transparency:

The source code is publicly available on GitHub for security auditing. I know how important trust is with extensions.

I'd love your feedback! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Android Browser?

I use various sites on Android that have frequent popups and redirects. Such as video streaming sites for ToS reasons. Is there a browser out there that truly blocks these or at least well? I've tried the mobile of opera gx and brave but the redirects and popups still happen.

A Simple Opensource ad blocker/Patcher for Spotify(Flatpak) on Linux

A Simple Opensource ad blocker/Patcher for Spotify(Flatpak) on Linux

I've been using the official Spotify Flatpak on Linux for a while, but the ads kept getting more annoying. I tried finding an alternative for BlockTheSpot for Linux. but nothing promising came up. I do know that you can just use a spotify web with firefox and ublock origin, but it just wasn't doing it for me., so I built a small patcher that works directly on the Flatpak install instead, with a single command.

It modifies the app's bundle to:

Skip audio and video ads entirely

Remove banner placements

Hide the "Explore Premium" button in the top bar

Everything is done with string/regex patches on the JS and CSS files inside the xpui.spa archive. It makes a backup first (xpui.spa.bak), so you can always roll back. There's also a dry-run mode to preview changes and a status check to see what's applied.

Or run the uninstall script to clean everything up.

The patches are based on current Spotify versions, but client updates can break them—when that happens, it's usually just a matter of updating the signatures in the code. I've kept it simple so anyone can tweak or contribute.

Repo: https://github.com/Nikish-codes/spotless

If you're running the Flatpak version and try it out, let me know how it goes.

Two iPhones, both with Adblock, but one shows ads?

My old iPhone 7 had Safari with Adblock. I never saw static or animated ads on sites like BBC or CBC.

I migrated everything to a "newer" XR, updated iOS and Safari, migrated same Adblock settings, but now every time I want to watch a news clip I get an ad video. Is there some setting I'm overlooking?

Adblock broken overnight?

I can't get anything to run with adblock on since last night. Was working fine, but this morning no websites will work even google search doesn't run correctly. This is on Firefox, was something changed or is it just ATT being hot garbage.

Solution for Youtube videos buffering at start (Web)

Have you ever had Youtube videos buffer/pause at the start with a textbox saying "Experiencing Interruptions?"? If you have, I found a possible solution and want to share it in case anyone else got it.

What you have to do is disable your adblocker, then open a video. You should be seeing a 6 second ad that's just the youtube logo. If you proceed to block this ad using the google's ad settings visible on the ad, then you can turn on adblocker and you will no longer experience the buffering.

I'm assuming this is a new way for youtube to try to jab at adblock users, but either way hope this helps someone!

What's the best twitch adblock for android?

I'm on android and i tried twire and while it works for blocking ads i cant chat it just redirects me back to home page. I've tried brave with adblock and it works and i can chat but no points. I tried some other recommended apps like purpletv which don't block ads.

Remove Prime ads without paying for ad free

I signed up for Prime just for one month but I am getting annoyed by the show trailers they keep previewing and you have to wait. Like I already pay so why are they forcing more ads on me?

So I don’t want to pay even more just to remove ads, is there any decent ad blocker that will remove this? I’m looking at uBlock, open adblocker, pi-hole, ghostery but want to know it’ll definitely work before i waste time configuring one. So has anyone managed it?

Website completely blocks its contents with uBlock Lite active. What to do?

Hi,

as some of you might also enjoy, I usually play the dulls every day and beginning today, the Website flagle.io blocked its content off with uBlock Lite enabled.

Anything that can be done there? I actually enjoy that game a lot and it would be a bummer to not play it anymore, but I also just cant the atrocious ads on that website.

Any ideas or hints? Appreciated, thank you.

Not sure if this is the right place, but don't use Tube PiP.

Not sure if this is the right place, but don't use Tube PiP.

For context, I have a 18.6.2 IOS and needed to find a Youtube app that has no ads. I ended up finding this strange app by someone (4th picture) that seemed to be suspicious judging by the amount of comments they made.

So I ended up trying it out and felt flabbergasted. It does exactly as it told. Yet, I still feel suspicious, so I decided to check more and ended up finding more reasons why I should be more skeptical of this. Not only did I not find any posts regarding about Tube PiP, but this is the same company that owns an allegedy AI-generated gaming app (2nd picture).

With that, I cannot trust this app any longer and uninstalled it. Never signed in either, despite what it says (3rd picture). It was too obvious.

Now I'm stuck without an efficient and legit way to watch youtube videos ad-free. If someone can provide a way, I'll be happy.
