That’s a lazy solution without installing Peertube/Piped/Invidious etc,
After I got blocked from watching further videos, I disabled uBlock on Firefox, clicked any video and then enabled uBlock again. For some reason neither the blocking nor the pop-ups came back after reloading or since.
So basically you just updated your filter lists to get the new anti-adblock blocking.
I see loads of posts that ad blockers stopped working on youtube. However, I still have no ads there. I’m running vivaldi with ublock on Linux and Vivaldi with minminguard on Android (EU based).
Is this a firefox issue, US only,…?
I am in France
Nobody said adblocks stopped working. It’s YouTube who blocks YOU from watching when adblock running
No ads here, adblocker active and I can watch yt in the Netherlands. Either the ad block detecting is not perfect or not globally active.
There’s 3 reasons why you might see this AdBlock nonsense:
- YouTube changed something and the filter lists need a bit of time for volunteers to update them
- Your auto update of filter lists did not pull the above update yet
- Some other addon/privacy feature interferes with ublock or triggers the adblock detection themselves
If you didn’t run into any of these yet, you’ll have no problems. Also sometimes you might have one of the above problems, but the adblock detection feature may not have been rolled out to your region/account yet, so you’re also fine.
Alternatively I noticed opening a video in a new tab won’t trigger the popup.
Mine just started working out of nowhere. I went to YouTube on my chrome browser to find a video I wanted to watch so I can play in Firefox and it just played as normal 🤷🏾♂️
I just got the popup a couple of times but never any ads. I’m behind Pi-hole, running Firefox with arkenfox.js and uBlock
Currently using ungoogled-chromium with uBlock Origin, never encountered warnings and not logging in.
