μBlock Origin works for me still (Firefox), but I had to remove my custom filter to remove Shorts from the Subscription page - seems like they can detect it if I have any YT-specific rules.

I’ve got FreeTube set up as a backup in case μBlock does ever fail - but its lack of tabs really make me not want to use it as my primary access yet. I think they could benefit a lot from creating a browser-based UI, kind of like what Plex has.

Using AdGuard on macOS and iOS. Works fine

uBlock Element zapper has been working for me just fine

NigelFrobisher ,

Looks like YouTube is the next tower to fall.

Staiden ,

If they really stop people from watching it will just force people to straight up pirate their content.

They won’t ever win this battle.

Gabu ,

Youtube fell a long time ago. It’s in ruins as we speak.

squirrelwithnut ,

I’ve already switched to Freetube on my PC, and New.piped on my phone.

Some solutions:

Vinegar on iOS is also still working perfectly

RojoSanIchiban ,

Nice, this is one of the primary reasons I haven’t used Safari in my Apple noobness, relying on Brave and another browser for YT ad blocking. Going to give this a try too.

thatsthespirit ,

Can’t say that’s it’s been working perfectly both on my iPhone and on my iPad, but it’s certainly helped a lot.

I don’t actually use it, I tried it out but I still prefer LibreTube. Just included it because it might be useful for others.

I switched to it from NewPipe w SponsorBlock (fork) when it went public for testing. For a prerelease it does everything I need, except SB functionality. Hoping that is in the pipeline.

Subscription feed works for you? When I imported my subs it said the subscription feed is disabled to due to issues with YouTube API limits. Getting nebula in my home feed is nice though. Mostly still on NP+SB in the meantime.

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

It does, yep - I just opened it and it already had a video posted just 11 minutes ago. There have been a couple bugs I’ve found and reported but it’s all small, out-of-the-way stuff. I have around 65 yt channels I follow.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

ReVanced still and option for Android, though I have to recommend NewPipe and sponsor block

vladmech ,

Going to try Yattee tonight, thank you!

noodlejetski ,

when following the guide for Yattee, does it serve as a drop-in replacement for the Youtube app, i.e. does it open Youtube links from other apps and everything? I don’t use iOS, but I’d like to know how viable it would be as a recommendations for my friend who do.

netchami ,

I don’t use iOS anymore and I don’t exactly remember how Yattee behaves. Just recommend them to try it out, they can always look for another solution if this doesn’t work.

Gekoloniseerd ,

I’ve just installed Yattee for IOS. It works great. There was a post for this a day ago? Also for other platforms. Fuck YouTube.

Zerlyna ,
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe I didn’t do it right. Nothing loads. Do I need to copy and paste each YT link to see something?

Gekoloniseerd , (edited )

r.yattee.stream/manifest-invidious-piped.json

Settings——> locations manifest and add the above link. Restart the app and you are good to go.

Currently without issue using Firefox and uBlock Origin. No complaints from YouTube nor ads.

uwe ,

It’s being rolled out in waves. Seems like you haven’t been hit yet.

SmoothIsFast ,

No as ublock has stated you are using other extensions that are tripping detection, ffs 😑

Telodzrum ,

No, not at all correct. uBlock has stated publicly, on multiple channels, that YT is updating its detection script several times a day while they are racing to patch in a fix.

whileloop ,
@whileloop@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, that’s not what uBlock is saying. YouTube rolls out new adblock detection several times a day. uBlock can’t stop it instantly, it takes time for the devs to adjust their code. So for a few hours, YouTube’s detection works. If you haven’t been caught yet, then it means you’ve been lucky to get the rollout after uBlock already had a fix. Some of us aren’t that lucky. Last week, I got an early rollout several hours before uBlock had a patch. Turned off all my extensions, used default uBlock settings, all their suggestions, had no effect. A few hours later, uBlock had a fix and I didn’t see YouTube’s block anymore.

Grenfur ,

I had been using Ghostery Dawn for ages. Got the pop-ups. Couldn’t get around them. Switched to just firefox with ublock, no more ads. Can confirm it does work.

Kusimulkku ,

I’ve been hearing that for a while

dual_sport_dork ,
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

I’m certain that by “users” what they really mean is “people still using Chrome.”

Sludgehammer ,
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been having intermittent problems while using Firefox. Of course, all I need to do is clear the Ublock’s filters and re-load them.

Oddly, my brother who uses the same ad-blocker as me and Chrome hasn’t gotten a anti-AdBlock nag screen for months. No idea why.

Traister101 ,

That’s the majority of people?? Looks like the most recent number is 64% of people with 20% on Safari and the remaining ~17% split among the rest with Firefox (3%) not even beating Edge (5%)

QueriesQueried ,

Honestly the process to get ublock origin working is identical between the two of them, so being a chrome user doesn’t really make it any harder. Obviously still a better idea to switch, but for that specific problem, its the same.

JoShmoe ,

uBlock Origin is from chromium

brown567 ,

Firefox also has it

RojoSanIchiban ,

uBlock Origin is very much available for Firefox.

JoShmoe ,

It was first released in June 2014 as a chrome and opera extension. That’s what I meant. However I did say chromium which would be technically incorrect.

Maalus ,

Your original post is absolute nonsense and reads like someone correcting / saying it doesn’t exist in Firefox at all.

Op said “I use firefox with uBlock” and you went “ublock is from chromium” - which in the context you explained above is totally useless to the discussion - who cares where it is from?

RojoSanIchiban ,

I was having issues requiring cache dump/updates daily both on a Windows 10 machine with FF/UO and on an ipad with Brave and Orion (which can use UO) including total cookie wipes. Win 11 machines never blinked.

The last couple days or so, I’ve not seen the block message anywhere. Fun stuff.

jsdz ,

Unless you’re doing something unusual, it’s probably because you’re browsing youtube without being logged in.

tony ,

Same here, chrome and ublock origin… did nothing special at all, never seen any of these popups.

I assume it’s a slow rollout and we’ve both been lucky.

nutsack ,

it’s a matter of time don’t worry

STUPIDVIPGUY ,

if it does happen, just use freetube

nutsack ,

it’s a matter of time for that one too

JackFrostNCola ,

I had to use element picker mode to select the popup to make it go away, but now i have two issues:

  1. I cant scroll down after a second of the page loading.
  2. Autoplay does not work on playlists
Somecall_metim ,

Switched to Freetube and convinced my dad too as well. No ads, no algorithms, no shit yt search that never works. We’re chilling.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

After beginning to roll out a healthy nudge to turn off ad blockers or subscribe to the platform’s ad-free Premium offering, YouTube is now forcing users’ hands.

As users continue to trawl the depths of YouTube, they will now be greeted with a pop-up warning them to disable their ad blocker saying “video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.” This notification began popping up for users across the platform earlier this month, but it was as simple as shrugging it off by closing out the message.

Shortly thereafter, YouTube forced users to acknowledge the message but still allowed them to exit out of it after a brief timer elapsed.

YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton told The Verge Tuesday that using an ad blocker is actually against the platform’s terms of service.

He also told the outlet that “ads support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube.”

Around the same time, the company reported its third straight quarterly decline in ad revenue, according to The Wall Street Journal.
