For some reason I've been getting the "ad blockers violate the terms of service" nag lately on my firefox browser with ublock origin. My Brave browser doesn't get it though. Any ideas?
Youtube/Google is known to bully and lash out against Firefox users first, they use that as a hybrid strategy to make people use Google Chrome more (other market, same corposcum). Not surprised.
I installed it and did the setup and it worked great for many months. Then, in the last few days, something changed, though I made no changes to my browser or ublock. Today it works fine. Yesterday I was getting the nag. I didn't make any changes from yesterday to today.
Youtube did something recently and uBlock had to update in response. I think it was automatically rolled out sometime "last night."
I might be wrong but I think ad blocker warnings show up briefly after YouTube updates its detection methods. They vanish once filter lists catch up. It’s an ongoing cat-and-mouse game.
To reduce these warnings, update your ad blocker’s filter lists or they'll eventually they do so automatically.
Update Filters: In uBlock Origin, open the dashboard, go to the “Filter lists” tab, and click “Update now.” Keeping uBlock itself updated helps too. Clearing cache can sometimes help. I think Firefox has better uBlock support, Chrome is toxic to adblocker integration.
thanks!
Genuine question, where else can you find a slew of car repair videos?
I got that, too, yesterday and the first time I got a helpful pop-up from uBO suggesting I watch in a private window. But simply reloading the page was enough to get the video to play each time it popped up yesterday.
Got it today too. I clicked on "fuck you" or something like that, and I went on to watch my ad-free video.
