I’m still just using Firefox and ublock origin…

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

Android: https://newpipe.net/

For PC: https://freetubeapp.io/

Or you can try switching your VPN to a European location while using Ublock. I think YouTube's anti-adblocking violates EU privacy laws

Edit: fixed formatting 🫠

Here is a website that keeps track of the latest YouTube anti-adblock scripts and if uBlock Origin's filters are updated to bypass it: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/

No issues with:

• Firefox+ uBlock Origin (PC)
• Freetube (PC)
• NewPipe (Android)
• SmartTube (Android/Google TV)

I personally don't use Youtube (I prefer using Libredirect with Piped/Invidious) but I tried Youtube on Firefox with UBlock and I didn't have any problem. This might sound dumb but what filters do you use on UBlock? I have read that turning on some filters would help with this but I'm not sure.

If you are using chrome, ditch it and use something like braver or firefox.

We are already in 2024, which means that Chrome probably does not support manifest-V2 anymore. (What an unexpected turn of events)

I haven't had a SINGLE adblock message when I use YouTube with Adguard + Ublock origin and the FF "strict" option for privacy.

But I also don't log into any accounts.

My wife was getting messages all the time (logged in) with the same adblockers. I installed an add-on that speeds up ads so fast that you don't even notice them. LOL Problem solved!

Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

Firefox + uBlock Origin. if you keep seeing the anti-adblock message there are certain filters you must input. I'm sure you can find it somewhere on the Internet. If it comes back then you simply refresh your filters.

Use open source youtube third party apps and everything will be good, For pc freetube, For tv smarttube next, For android newpipe, libretube, clipious, revanced, There's also some for ios, but my last iphone was iphone 5s so i don't know how is it now

I've been seeing these posts for a couple of months now, but I haven't had any issues with uBlock origin and Chrome at work, or uBlock origin and Firefox at home. Why am I able to still use these things if YouTube has been blocking them for a couple of months now?

If you have the means, you could self-host a Piped server? Otherwise, try out https://piped.video.

Revanced hasn't stopped working for me and I don't even bother updating.

If it's a mobile problem, get Newpipe. It's not on the App Store, you have to go on the website to get it, but it absolutely is worthwhile. Firefox and you block still works just fine though on desktop.

I get that warning all the time and it's just a reminder to go update my browser and update all of my filters for ublock origin. After everything's updated YouTube goes back to working

Using Chrome and uBlock for work, no issues.

Firefox and uBlock for personal, no issues.

Try only using uBlock, uninstall all other extensions. Works great for me on both Firefox and Chrome.

For android, I use https://revanced.app/

For desktop, I use https://freetubeapp.io/

Piped.video

I don't see any issues with ublock

I uninstalled and reinstalled ublock and restarted my computer and it worked amazingly. I’m sorry if it doesn’t for you! Like others said, try clearing cookies/history/errything.

UPDATE: Ads. I was wrong. I will try updating again.

yt-dlp and PeerTube.

Check your firefox extensions

For PC: Libredirect plugin on firefox and point it to freetube (Freetube.io)

For Android: Grayjay (https://grayjay.app/) (Sideload it, don't install from the play store)

For IOS: Pick an invidious instance and ponder the bad choices that led to you using an apple product.

SponsorBlock is really good for dealing with the "this video was brought to you by" ads. There are also some other extensions that will either auto-press the "Skip Ad" button when possible, and others that will treat it like a podcast app and just change the playback speed for the ads to some really really fast speeds. So the ads are still present, but are over in seconds.

I use Tube Archivist to download videos from my subscriptions then watch them through Jellyfin.

NewPipe x SponsorBlock

I'm sure there's a better fix, but I found that if I block the pop up, I can't click anything on the screen EXCEPT I can right click and do picture in picture and can play and do everything I need. If I go back, I can at least see what I want to watch, click it, then do pip.

FUCK ADS
