Oh look, YouTube managed to circumvent uBlock for like two hours again before someone figured out a fix, lol.
Seriously, I wanna know how much funds Google allocates to fight ad blockers just to come up with a working solution every odd month that then gets fixed by the uBlock community in hours. There’s no way this is profitable for them or gets a sizable number of uBlock users to buy their subscription.
Sadly, the majority of humanity aren’t intelligent people. This is most likely working for them with hundreds of idiots.
Please don’t make posts to TechTakes that are just bare images without a description. The description can be simple, like “Screenshot from YouTube saying ‘Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service’”. Some of our participants rely upon screenreaders. Or are crotchety old people who remember an Internet that wasn’t all three websites sharing snapshots of the other two websites.
i use ublock origin
reddit still good for something: Filter Lists–>uBlock filters–>uncheck the “ublock filters - quickfixes” box and then reload the page.
this worked for me
ad blocking works fine with this unchecked. from what i gather this particular switch is a recent addition per the ublock app update, which broke youtube ad blocking. i’m sure ublock will rectify it, but in the meantime this workaround works around it.
No problem, set your useragent to openai, boom no more advertisements. Every other video is some weird video about how great google is however. Strange that. (Note: this is a joke, not something that I tested and actually works).
TL;DW - They do whatever Aaron tells them to.
