Are you using chrome or Firefox?

Did you delete Google and Youtube cookies when you reloaded the UBlock stuff? That's a necessary step.

I use Piped + LibreTube, and I self-host Piped to get better and more consistent load times. Works very well, only minor issues every now and then.

Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed

Yeah also on firefox

Pihole does nothing in this case

Like the majority I am using Ublock and Firefox, but I've noticed over the last month it is very slow to catch up to YouTube ads and I'm seeing them make it through a lot more often.

AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using ProtonVPN on my router with adblock and antimalware features enabled, and uBlock on Firefox and I've never encountered a problem when I click on YouTube links.

I normally use invidious anyway.

I’m still just using Firefox and ublock origin…

I have to log out, clear cookies, update/clear block lists, then log back in.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

i'm using safari on macOS, and i've had pretty good luck with Ad Guard Pro. when i get the adblock warning, i switch my user agent. when that doesn't work, deleting my cookies usually does the trick.

Piped has been working great for me

Hmm…

So I only use Brave for YouTube. I definitely won’t be recommending it, but I’m torn between whether I’m being a leech of ad-free user generating what should be near zero revenue or if I’m being valuable as a number to ad to user counts.

There are other plugins that get flagged like some if the YT Premium features (cant remember the exact name)

Ublock/adnauseum work fine after uninstalling that stuff

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

YouTube Unhook has started failing to auto-click the Skip Ad button as of today, I noticed.
