I can still dismiss the popup and play the video, but it looks like the end times are coming.

What was that one method people found out on Reddit again? Something about adding certain values to your filters?

It popped up for me on firefox for the first time in like 3 weeks a few hours ago. But I purged my ublock and firefox caches and rebooted the client and it works fine now.

I got locked out a couple weeks ago and downloaded a script that replaces the regular video player with the embedded player. I find it annoying because it's causing the videos to not end up in my history when I watch them and the homepage is getting clogged up with videos I've already seen.

I'm still getting pre-roll ads playing with just sound before videos even after I've cleared my uBlock cache & closed & re-opened FF.
So do you have to clear the FF cache too along with UB's for it to fully block ads?

Miraculously, Ive still been able to coast by with just Adblock Plus and Chrome. Maybe its because I havent updated Chrome or my OS in a long-ass time >_>

Anyway, Ive been thinking ahead to when it inevitably stops sufficing, and I saw some people talking about fadblock, which I guess loads the ads but runs through them so fast you dont actually see them, so supposedly everyone wins. Has anyone here tried that one?

When one blocks a advert, like the Hero war advert, they still continue showing up.
Youtube Block function is so useless.

This is what it says when I press block on adverts:
Stop seeing this ad?
You shouldnt see this ad again from Google, but you may see other ads from this advertiser
Even though it says this, the same does appear again. They don't give any option so I don't see anything related to that company.

Youtube is against people using softwares to block ads, but they have no problem with adverts that are fake, frauds and people losing in simple games.

Lets put it this way:
  • Youtube supports frauds and fake adverts. They have block function and report that does nothing.
  • Youtube are against people using softwares to block adverts.


A person can lie in their ads as much as possible, nothing happens. A person can block bad ads, yet they appear. There is no problem when a company bypass their block.

Paying Youtube is like rewarding money to them, for supporting frauds and fakes.
I will never pay Youtube, when they take no action against frauds and fakes.

This. Literally filled with scams and fake ads that can easily compromise you. Not like its a reason for me to use adblocker.

I use adblocker simply because I hate ads. And I'm sure adblockers will only become more advanced just like they always have. Yes, Google has the resources of a corporation, but they're going up against every programmer in the world who has an interest in making adblockers better lol.

Youtube isn't a friend to anyone but other corporate interests, and as they become both more corporatized and aggressive towards their own users and content creators, I'm sure as fuck not going to do anything to support them financially.

Google went from "Don't Be Evil" to just throwing that first word out of the equation, and they can get fucked.

Youtube is a friend to frauds, scammers and fakers. Youtube has a block function, which doesn't do anything. These ads they bypass the block function. Just a little modification like reversing the video or some editing, that bypass the block function.

I wouldn't be blocking ads, if Youtube took action against those that abuse it.

So Youtube should take action on those ads that are doing wrong also and not just focus on people using adblockers.

Scammers, Frauds and Fakes = Youtube friends
People that use adblocker = Youtube enemies

Having ads in my opinion isn't a bad thing, I discovered games that I wouldn't have known without seeing them. Sometimes it can show interesting things.
I admit I don't like ads interrupting while I am watching something, but I can understand that they need to make money.

However Youtube should understand that they need to take action on these frauds, scammers and fakes. They have a block function, to prevent certain ads from showing, but that doesn't work at all. These frauds knows how to bypass it. I can block it 100 times, yet it makes no difference.

Until Youtube does something about that, then Youtube are wrong from blocking adblocker.

Firefox, UNO, Privacy Badger. In Privacy Badger settings, search domains for YouTube, block every result. If you get the popup, clear UBO cache and update filters. If all else fails, right click and open the video in a new private browser window, nothing they can do about this.

I havent seen the popup in at least 3 weeks.
