Youtube periodically updates their anti-adblock measures for a handful of users at a time, which means ads will get through until uBlock is updated to counter that update. You can try manually updating uBlock, but if that doesn't work, just wait a few hours and it'll fix itself.

Youtubes fight against people knowledgeable enough to use ad blockers is so dumb. They should just cut their losses and focus on normie users, which I would assume is the vast majority of youtube users

something weird tho... the ads that have been getting thru on youtube's feed page have been oddly relevant for, like, the first time in history...

Google proper still gives shitty ads, just like everywhere else.

I think only 2 or 3 times ever has an ad been relevant to my interests... whoever designs their interests matching systems are incompetent.

It took me four days before ublock was able to counter them last time I got ads. What was most frustrating was so many people were calling me a liar and trying to tell me to do all the things I already did.

Youtube doesn't send the ads out to their entire viewer base, they just send it out to a small number when they test things. You just got unlucky tc, your adblocker should update soon to deal with them.

Edit: I now realize this thread was necroed and likely TC no longer has this problem.

use multiple apps and also use the private browsing mode if that doesn't work

your biggest problem could be the Chromebook, but I don't know how those work tbh

Maybe you can't on chromebook?

Normally you can right click a tab or the browser icon and select "Open a new private window" or whatever

Your problem is using Google services to block Google services.
P.S.:Buy Youtube Premium if you want to get rid of ads in Chrome-based navigators.

it's really cheap in the USA

The only reason people refuse to pay for it is because they had it for free before and it feels bad to have to pay now. It absolutely is not a decision that the value of the product isn't worth what you get for the price. If that were true, the same person wouldn't be paying for Spotify premium while complaining about YouTube premium.

Both Spotify Premium and Youtube Premium are jokes, blatantly framed as selling solutions to problems that the platform holders created in the first place. They could be selling a 10-year subscription for $0.01 and I'd still flip them the bird because that's not a business model I want to reward.

Do you believe content is owed to you for free? Or do you abstain from consuming that content at all?

That's for content providers to decide, and as we know, youtubers already do sponsorships.

Hosting on YouTube is content creators deciding. They're also able to to self-host or to host on other platforms if they decide that's a better alternative.

If content is offered to me for free, then I am owed content for free. If content is offered to me at a price, then I am owed content only if I pay that price. If content is offered to me for free, but the provider throws in a bunch of contrived inconveniences and outright threats that they then offer to remove for a price, that's just bullshit.

If you want me to pay for stuff, charge me for it. Don't tell me it's free, then try to manipulate me into paying for it (even before considering the question of whether or not Google actually needs to make any more money off of me than they already do).

I havent seen an ad on YouTube in years and I use it every day. I dont pay for premium, use an Adblock or do anything illegal. I legit have no idea why but my account does not get ads.

Then we agree. The price is watching ads or paying for premium. I can ignore the rest of whatever you said.

I statutorily refuse the technological implications that I, as a user, aren't allowed to deny certain content on my machine.
It's data coming in through my modem through my ethernet cable to my computer being processed and then displayed on my monitor.

I also don't mind the escalating adblocker and anti-adblocker from companies.

I switched to Chrome back when it was new, and after so many years Ive gotten too used to it to switch. However I will switch to Firefox if they make good on their threats against uBlock origin. So far I havent had any issues with it, and until I do, I dont have a reason to switch.

friendly reminder that if you just use youtube even for 3 hours a week, the data google gets from you is worth about $200 for them to sell.

and that's just youtube only.
