    It’s funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

    Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

    YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don’t believe they are better off now more than before.

      If Twitch taught us anything, this is just the beginning.

          Made it more difficult to block ads than YouTube’s pathetic attempt.

            I was really surprised (and annoyed) to see some ads on Twitch yesterday.

              Straight up the first ads I’ve seen in a long time were on twitch.

              Then of course the first ad I see was for Narcan followed by an ad for Smirnoff.

              God I fucking hate ads

            Ads need to be clearly identifiable as such here.

          Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They’re next to impossible to block now, though I’ve heard some people say it’s still possible.

              I will have to try that. My way of blocking twitch ads is using my vpn. But it disconnects me from chat for a few seconds, when an ad should appear.

    This is a big reason Google wanted to push the whole “web integrity” thing. There would have been no way to use an adblocker after that and they would have won the blocking wars. It’s bad enough they’re gimping Chromium with Manifest v3, but they tried for it all.

          Adding that stuff to Android, so if you don’t have the genuine YouTube app the server won’t even serve you the videos. It is meant to kill things like ReVanced.

              I was talked about AdNauseum. Unlike uBO it is not up to speed with YouTube changes.

    Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads

      I actually had to get rid of adnauseam because YT detected it pretty consistently, ublock origin as of this comment still works fine on YT though.

        From what I understand AdNauseum is built on top of uBlockOrigin so you supposed use it instead. The thing is that it isn’t as frequently updated and due to recent YouTube wars this is currently required.

    uBO + iFrame script + Clickbait Remover + YouTube NonStop, the only way to clean up the YT crap and don’t want to or can use a front-end or desktop client.

      Great suggestions.

      I’d strongly recommend Dearrow instead of Clickbait remover now (I used to use Clickbait).

      It’s made by the same developer who made Sponsorblock, which I also strongly recommend (it skips over in-video sponsors, title sequences, non-music sections in music videos, etc.). Just remember to turn it off for channels whom you wish to support.

    I noticed that the Behind The Overlay extension in Firefox can also defeat the YouTube ad blocker pop up.
