"Sponsored by You Tube" 15 second full screen Ad on You Tube Premium account Android device

about 2 or 3 weeks ago it began popping up taking over the whole screen and not allowing me to close it until 15 seconds with countdown clock on the top right corner. Ive gone into my apps, i can not find the culprit. Can someone please tell me why supposedly you tube sponsored ads are taking over my whole screen JUST on You Tube when i have a Premium Account? Can someone please tell me how to remove this from my device?

Quick and easy: Add uBlock Origin on Brave Browser

Mostly a reminder for myself because I keep forgetting, but this is the easiest way to activate the integrated uBlock Origin extension in Brave:

brave://settings/extensions/v2

^ put this into your Brave Browser address line. Flick the toggle on "enable Ublock Origin".

Done!

What’s your current setup for reducing ads in native mobile apps?

I mostly use the native YouTube, YouTube Music and Spotify apps on my iPhone, and the number of ads has become increasingly frustrating.

Firefox with uBlock Origin works reasonably well for browser playback, but I’d prefer to keep using the native apps. I’m interested in device-level or network-level options that don’t require jailbreaking or constantly changing settings.

What are you currently using on iOS or Android? Does it still work after app updates, and are there any drawbacks such as battery drain, slower loading, broken playback or missed ads?

Please mention your operating system and actual limitations. I’m looking for real experiences rather than referral links.

Hot take

Mobile Wifi should come without advertisement.

I am on a train, no wifi except mobile data, I strongly believe that youtube and similar sites should not have ads while I have to oay money. I won't buy your shitty service and pay money on top of that.

So sick of unlimited unwanted ads in my message box.

I get atleast 10-15 ad messages every single day its so infuriating to report, unsubscribe and delete.

I have stopped giving my numbers in any outlets for discounts, offers and what not.

I can atleast convince myself to tolerate it if it was from the website i purchased but 90% of it are services i didnt even sign up for, not sure which company sold my number. Is there a way to fix this other than just changing my Number.

I built an open-source AdBlock & Tracker testing website. Looking for feedback.

Hi everyone!

I have been working on an open-source project called AdBlock360 Test.

The goal is to provide a simple way to test how well ad blockers, DNS filters, and browser protections block advertising and tracking resources.

Current features:

• 100 ad & tracker test domains

• Privacy score

• Progress bar

• Mobile-friendly UI

• GitHub Pages deployment

• Open source

Live Demo:

https://mireli5656.github.io/Adblock360-test/

GitHub:

https://github.com/Mireli5656/Adblock360-test

I'm looking for honest feedback.

What would you improve?

Any bugs, ideas, or feature suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

How are you blocking ads in YouTube, YT Music, and Spotify mobile APPS?

Is it just me, or have mobile ads on YouTube, YouTube Music, and Spotify gotten completely unbearable lately?

Right now, my only workaround is using Firefox with uBlock Origin, but that only works for web browsing and doesn't solve the issue for mobile apps.

I’m looking for a solid mobile setup on iOS(or Android), so what setup are you currently using that actually works?

I've used dns.adguard-dns.com for years and enjoyed a peaceful ad-free life. Several weeks ago I set my DNS from private to automatic so I could watch ads for money due to Broke.

Is there an adblocker for a roku tv?

I was using it before from my PC so it never had wifi, but recently put it up elsewhere and its playing ads as soon as it turns on and the home screen is plagued with them. If i could watch prime and roku channel movies without ads that would be great, otherwise i might just disable wifi and wire my laptop to it

3 months of building my AdBlock extension

3 months of building my AdBlock extension

I've spent the last 3 months building my own AdBlock extension.

The project is called AdBlock — Ads, Trackers.

It started as a small project, but I learned a lot about ad blocking, browser extensions, trackers, and how websites detect ad blockers.

I've tested it on many websites and kept improving it over time.

It's still not perfect, but I'm happy with how far it has come.

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Open sourcing my adblock compilers and API clients

Open sourcing my adblock compilers and API clients

I am the founder and CTO of an internet threat intelligence and internet security SaaS offering, I write tools for privacy vendors like AdGuard. I am open-sourcing a suite of tools for AdGuard and AdGuard DNS I wrote last year as prototypes for a new suite of tools my firm is releasing later this year. I wanted to ensure I'm giving back to the AdGuard community that has so graciously provided some of the open source code needed to provide inspiration for me to write tools that will hopefully benefit the entire internet writ-large when we reach RTM

The tools I'm releasing today are geared towards developers and list makers, and are ports of the original AdGuard Hostlist Compiler. AdGuard have provided the foundation for a new suite of tools we'll be releasing soon. To be clear, we are not aiming to compete with AdGuard or any other threat intelligence vendor (e.g. NextDNS, Technitium, etc.) and are instead seeking to provide the intelligence portion, along with simplified toolsets to interact vendor APIs via single pane of glass. We hope to partner with firms like AdGuard to provide the intelligence portion of their platforms, laying on top of their infrastructure investment.

Our tools will allow users with investments in 3rd party privacy tools like AdGuard to continue using those tools, we'll just provide the intelligence portion along with an interface to automatically have those rules applied to your vendor. We're a drop in replacement for the threat intelligence portion.

Bloqr's threat list compilers provide vastly superior performance, with threading and chunking provided out of the box. We can compile millions of rules in seconds, and can combine rules from dozens of lists into a single artifact in a fraction of the time. Our libraries can be integrated into CLI pipelines, embedded as libraries, and are fully customizable and extensible.

(Tutorial) How to block the Anti-Adblock screen and countdown on WCO.tv

WCO Anti-Adblock Fix Tutorial

Hello everyone, this is a tutorial I decided to write to help you guys get rid of the "Operation: Zero Delay" popup and the "Adblock Detected" page for WCO.

This tutorial assumes you're using uBlock Origin and Firefox.

  1. Click on the uBlock Origin extension.
  2. Click the gears icon.
  3. Go to "Filter List".
  4. Scroll down to "Annoyances".
  5. Enable "uBlock filters – Annoyances".
  6. Refresh WCO.

And now the video should load instantly and there is no more anti-adblock.

I wanted to write this tutorial for everyone who was struggling, and also because the admins of WatchCartoonsOnline subreddit were deleting the adblock-related fixes that people were sharing, so I posted this here in r/Adblock in hopes it will be safe and there won't be any issues with the post being removed.

Chrome AdBlocker

Odds are this question has been asked, but what's the best adblocker for chrome. I don't need all of them gone, but certain ones have to go. These include:

  • The static ads on youtube.com and the ones on the sides of videos. I'm so freaking tired of Bluevision, jollycastle, and ventrix media
  • The sketchy ads on sketchy websites, the ones that say "Mary is only 5 miles away", or "Linda thinks she can beat you at (18+ game)". Really tired of those

If anyone can help me, it'd be much appreciated

Also note: getting another browser really isn't an option for me. I'm on a shared chromebook (no not for school) with almost no available storage or ability to run things in general.

[ANDROID] AdAway vs Goodbye Ads and a some other questions

I'm using AdAway on my Rooted Redmi Note 11 since years and it works fine (at least within all apps) but recently I heard about this app Goodbye Ads in a video about great Shizuku apps. It's with nice Material design (not that important) but also claims to be better. What can you say/suggest? Is Goodbye Ads app hosts based like AdGuard or just changes the DNS like you can do in the Android Settings? Also can I use Goodbye Ads without the Shizuku having to reactivate everything with the phone restart, and instead run it with a proper root privileges?

I'm mostly asking because of how the AdAway works for me. It's probably a wrong configuration on my end but a lot of websites recently (especially in my country maybe other websites) still show damn Ads. I need a better tweaked host lists, etc.? Or an ad blocker app with the ability to block specific elements from the said website like I do on PC but for this I need specific browser app/extension, etc not an Ad Blocking app?

And what about these in-app ads where you have to press a button (it's optional) but in order for the app to do the said button action you have to watch a stupid ad first in order to get the action done. While AdAway is enabled, pressing the button says "There are no ads at the moment, please try again later" so is there any way to pass these annoying ads or wasting my time to watch the ad is mandatory? (I hope the last thing is not a gray area for this subreddit)

If you used Goodbye Ads or AdAway and or any better ROOT based (non VPN) adblocking software, please give me advice/help. Thanks!

Only I first paused on page as directed and refreshed, then dis-activated my adblocker and refreshed, and the page will still repeat with this message without allowing me to access the content. I've never seen this before and I have tried to open multiple recipe pages now with the adblocker disabled, and I still get this message. The pages only work if I open them on Edge.

DNS

A DNS based solution to ad blocking is not highly effective at adblocking!

This is because content on a page on a website such as YouTube, everything (Including the Ads) are all delivered to you through the same domain as the website (domains which deliver critical content). This means anything it tries to individually block will often break / block the website.

This leads to obvious problems, which is not ideal. They are however very effective as a privacy tool, filtering mobile based ads, hard to reach / IoT devices and certain types of TV OS ads.

Hi, so as the title says, in some odd way I managed to get rid of specifically youtube ads on both my iphone and my ipad for a few years.

Anybody tired of youtube in-video ads?

Am I the only one who finds YouTube’s in-video ads more annoying than ever?

Just had a random thought: with how good AI has become, couldn’t YouTube automatically detect sponsored segments inside videos and give Premium users an option to skip or remove them?

Creators could still get paid the same amount YouTube estimates they’d earn from those sponsorships, while viewers who pay for the subscription get a cleaner experience.

I’d honestly pay extra for a feature like this. Curious if anyone else has thought about it or if it’s just me.

Ad Blocking Method For TVS

Now of course I could use a wireless HDMI, moonlight & sunshine screencast, or Pi-hole, but I’ve heard Pi-hole doesn’t work with sites such as Hulu, Prime, and YT, due to them having server side injections, m&s screencast isn’t going to be the easiest thing to setup everywhere I go, and I’m lowkey just wanting to see if there any great resolution to my issues before purchasing a wireless HDMI kit. Maybe I’m wrong about Pi-hole, just taking what I’ve seen and been told. So, do any of y’all know a pretty great way of blocking ads on top media sites without sacrificing quality, anything help. Also, I know about using the browsers but my Fire TV is slow when used in the browser and DNS filtering doesn’t seem to work always, also, I’ve subbed YT with SmartTube.

Steps to browse Rotten Tomatoes without disabling ad block

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't let you browse their site without disabling ad blockers, and they ask you this 'nicely', without actually an option to ignore it. Old methods of refreshing the page a few times didn't work for me: I am using Adguard on MS Edge on MacOS.

So this is what you do:

  1. Click on Adguard's icon
  2. Press the setting gear
  3. Filters
  4. Activate 'Annoyances'
  5. Open Annoyances
  6. Activate 'Adblock Warning Removal List'

Anyone else having issues with Revanced Extended/RVX?

Been having issues on my tablet running Android 16 with both ReVanced Extended and RVX for awhile where it will play, then blank for a second before going to 480p and the quality adjustment goes away entirely

My phone has just started doing that earlier, running Android 13. I've checked that it's all up to date, wondering if anyone else has had issues lately and if Google is trying stuff.

No issues with Firefox and UBo on the same devices or my desktop.

Google is bugging I think

Google is bugging I think

So I‘ve been using brave for years and in the past couple weeks I noticed that Google is starting to become buggy when viewing the site with adblock on. Kind of like Youtube not loading thumbnails and videos. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Maybe it’s completely unrelated to the adblock but after all that has happened I think it‘s totally justified to feel suspicious lol.

It’s not really an issue for me btw, since I mainly use duckduck go. I was just wondering.

Best way to block Twitch ads on Firefox? Also, is Chrome + AdGuard still fine for everything else?

Hey everyone,

I'm switching things up a bit and trying to figure out the best, most reliable way to block Twitch ads on Firefox. I know Twitch ads are notoriously difficult to bypass, so what are you guys currently using that actually works (extensions, user scripts, etc.)?

Also, a quick question about my main setup: is Google Chrome still perfectly fine to use for everything else if I stick with AdGuard? I've noticed a lot of people complaining about having massive headaches with YouTube ads lately, but to be honest, I haven't had a single issue using AdGuard on YT.

Would love to hear what the best setup is right now. Thanks in advance!

How to Get Rid of Persistent Ads on iPhone?

How to Get Rid of Persistent Ads on iPhone?

I think I figured out why some websites still allow ads to show up despite having AdGuard installed for my Safari + NextDNS for system-wide on my iPhone, because I forgot I whitelist this html-load domain. But if I block this domain, the websites won’t even load at all. What should I do? It’s really annoying despite the fact that I always score 97%-100% on adblock turtlecute, some websites still display full page of persistent ads like I’m not using any adblock service at all

Candy crush suddenly downloading after Adblocker?

Hello, so I am in need of some advice/insight

I just downloaded an adblocker like an hour ago (AdBlock Pro) to not get pop-up ads on safari. It worked fine and I got no ads so I was happy. Then I went to check on the app and saw that candy crush had been downloaded next to it, and not only that but ”before” it? But when i downloaded the app just about an hour ago I don’t think it was there? I have no recollection of seeing candy crush next to it. It’s like it just appeared. I have had candy crush downloaded like two years ago but I deleted it, so it’s not like I accidentally moved it.

To be fair I keep my phone in my pocket a lot while it’s on, but it’s never downloaded an app for me before? I checked on App Store and it seemed to be the legit version of candy crush as well.

I’m just really confused since I don’t know that much about how these types of things work. Can anybody help me? Has this happened to anyone else before? I have a bit of anxiety when it comes to this type of stuff so I’d appreciate it a ton if anyone had some insight :,)

Taught 70 yo grandma how to use firefox with adblock

Today she complained that she couldn't read news because of all the ads. The problem was that she used google browsers in-built feed to get news which isn't available outside of the browser (and google disables extensions on app).

So I downloaded firefox for her and used the pin feature to give her a similar ease of use. Don't know if that is the best solution, so if anybody has a better idea please send a reccomendation.

What if internet was paid and there were no ads?

I recently made a post asking why people don't use ad blockers often, and some people commented that the internet is only free because of ads which is true fact.

Now my thought on this is that internet ads actually make us spend way more money and manipulates our decisions. If the internet had no ads and we just paid a fee to use it, that fee would probably be much less than the money we currently waste on useless things we buy because of ads.

And the most dangerous thing is that those ads are just not product showcases they are evil manipulation tactics.

I’m not saying this would work for everyone.I know many people can't even afford basic subscriptions like YouTube Premium. But instead of every single app asking for its own subscription, maybe there should just be one general subscription for the internet as a whole. If we had that, it wouldn't even matter whose servers the ads are coming from.

Let me know your thoughts on what would have happened if internet was paid.

P. S. Yes I live in fairy tales.

Hulu is completely unusable now.

So apparently as of at least tonight, uBlock doesn't work on Hulu ads anymore. Tried getting AdGuard as well, did absolutely nothing.

The ads genuinely make trying to watch anything on Hulu impossible if you're like me and watch literally everything with subtitles, because apparently now the ads themselves *cut into the media time.* It doesn't cut away from media playback to "give" me an ad, it's like the ads have been hard-inserted into the media playback file itself.

Is anyone else experiencing this?? If so has anyone found a fix yet??

If Ad Blocking on Android is so easy why don't most people do it?

Two years ago, I found out that adding dns.adguard.com to the Private DNS settings on Android blocks ads in almost all apps and games. The only exceptions are apps like Instagram or YouTube, which serve ads directly from their own servers.

Still, most people are either unaware of this or don't use it for reasons I don't know.

Let me know in the comments if you didn't know about this hack, or if you choose not to use it willingly?

Until a few days ago, uBlock Origin was the only adblocker that gave me problems with Prime Video. Using AdGuard i was able to watch any video in Prime without ads and no detection.

Now im getting the same error that uBlock throws. Disabling AdGuard fix the issue obviusly but then i get ads.

The text basically says "Video not available, a problem exist to play this video, to get assistance visit blablabla dot com"

Any idea on how to bypass Prime Video ads now?

Skipping automatically Youtube ads...

Hi I'm testing with youtube now, but I do get a lot of ads in a foreign language and anyway I'd rather listen to my playlist without hearing all that crap !!

as they also interrupt music in the middle of a track to play their ads and not even resuming afterwards....

Do you have a solution with kind of an automatic ad skip ? or mute ?

Thank you again for your developping this incredible leap in using heos !

I tried AdGuard but that didn’t work, so I am open to all options. Preferably free, since I am not something paid would deliver tbh.

What can we do to block content with likely AI-generated titles

A lot of content online appears in the click bait AI generated phrasing. Phrasings are typically short and may take the form of "Why X is broken" rather than being descriptive. They also overly use certain words to artificially hype up.

I want to design some kind of Firefox plugin that will allow me to add phrasing to a database. So you see some content you dislike, you right click and add the fragment to the database. It then learns the patterns and in the future whenever an element appears with this form, it can be blocked. For example, I want to use it to filter any YouTube videos where the video title takes this form.

I feel that even if it doesn't fully block the element, just highlighting it or reducing its opacity will help our eyes filter good info from bad.

Has anybody thought about doing this? Is there any effort to try and block such elements?

I don't want a adblock. I've got a couple I'm using just fine. I just want an app to block shorts only on YouTube.

Sometimes I don't mind the ads and I feel guilty that the guys I'm watching aren't getting any revenue from my view, but I primarily use the adblock apps to block shorts, and ads as a bonus.

I made a free Chrome extension because I hate clickjacking/popunder ads

During the World Cup, my friends and I were too broke to pay for streaming, so we ended up sailing the high seas 🏴‍☠️.

If you've ever used those free streaming sites, you probably know the pain. Every click, whether it's play, pause, fullscreen, or just clicking anywhere on the page, opens a popup, a popunder, or redirects you to some gambling or porn site.

The reason is usually clickjacking. They place an invisible layer over the page that steals your click and uses it to open ads.

I tried all the usual ad blockers, but they didn't really stop it because this isn't a normal ad. It's the site's behavior. So I got tired of it and built a Chrome extension called Ads Jacker.

What it does:

  • Removes invisible click-trap overlays so your clicks go where they're supposed to.
  • Blocks the popups and popunders they trigger, including the hidden iframe trick some sites use to get around popup blockers.
  • Leaves normal websites alone, so it won't interfere with menus, logins, or video players.
  • It's completely free and collects zero data. No tracking, no analytics, no servers. Everything runs locally in your browser by checking for known clickjacking patterns.

It's not meant to replace your ad blocker. It works alongside one by targeting the click-hijacking tricks that many ad blockers don't catch.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ads-jacker/jngedkfjjlchlgabiibodmgngaaeodlf

I originally built this just for myself, but I figured other people might be dealing with the same thing. I'm the developer, so if you try it, I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions. I'm actively working on improving it.

pihole-dot: Native DNS-over-TLS in Pi-hole's FTL (no unbound/stubby sidecar needed)

pihole-dot: Native DNS-over-TLS in Pi-hole's FTL (no unbound/stubby sidecar needed)

I got tired of running a Pi-hole + unbound sidecar just to get encrypted upstream DNS (DoT), so I forked pi-hole/FTL and added native DNS-over-TLS support directly into the resolver (mbedTLS is already linked in for the web server, so I reused it). The result is pihole-dot a drop-in Pi-hole image with DoT built in.

What it is: - FTL-DoT: a fork of FTL with a native async DoT client built into dnsmasq's forwarder - pihole-dot: the Docker image that uses it same config, same env vars, just point FTLCONF_dns_upstreams at tls://ip#port#hostname - No unbound, no stubby, no extra container/hop

Architecture: each upstream server gets a small pool of pipelined TCP+TLS connections (RFC 7766-style multiple queries in flight per connection, demultiplexed by DNS transaction ID), instead of one query at a time per connection.

Screenshot from my own router running pihole-dot right now config is a normal, unlocked Pi-hole DNS Settings page
