Brave usually zero ads
NewPipe x SponsorBlock
I love newpipe! I wonder if there’s anything similar for desktop?
I didn’t know bro, I just use desktop sometimes but I use brave if I need to see a YouTube video, it works WO any problem with the stock adblocker.
There is, it’s called FreeTube. I use it all the time.
Yeah, I second Freetube on PC.
Even has sponsor block built in.
Works on Linux (flatpak) as well.
Thanks!
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.

Or you can try switching your VPN to a European location while using Ublock. I think YouTube’s anti-adblocking violates EU privacy laws

Newpipe has been working very well for me… for now.
Been using it for years without issue. Get the version with Sponsorblock, it’s worth it
I did for.the last year and a half. It has yet to block a single sponsor while the Firefox sponsorblock works fine lol.
It also, for the past few weeks, now has a “report problem” banner at the start of every video. Might look at an alternative.
For desktop, Firefox + ublock origin has yet to have me see a single ad.
Strange…I haven’t had that happen to me at all. I wish I was smart enough to figure it out for ya, but all I can say is that it works for me
I strongly suggest to try Libretube, it’s better IMO.
Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn’t stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.
I have also heard of https://revanced.app/ for mobile, but never tried it.
This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced
I think revanced . net should not be trusted
I have edited my post to address that, thank you
I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.
Yep. 2nd part is important.
The way I solved this was to leave my regular browser setup alone, make a new Firefox profile just for YouTube, install ONLY ublock origin, and create a shortcut to that profile on my desktop.
Now I only use that profile for YouTube. I haven’t seen one ad since this thing started.
I did the same for Facebook
Firefox has profiles?
Always has been.
See
about:profilesand the--profile ${directory}switch.

Huh I still have these addons active, and it still works with pihole, ublock and Firefox …
I’m sure there’s a better fix, but I found that if I block the pop up, I can’t click anything on the screen EXCEPT I can right click and do picture in picture and can play and do everything I need. If I go back, I can at least see what I want to watch, click it, then do pip.
FUCK ADS
fuck ads = fuck google. google is the reason the internet is shit now.
I’d argue it’s a mountain thing. I think they helped it get to a great place… then decided to make more billions by making it worse.
You go up, you go down.
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 have to log out, clear cookies, update/clear block lists, then log back in.
Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed
Yeah also on firefox
Pihole does nothing in this case
If you say so, i just noted that that’s my setup and that it works.
unpopular answer: youtube premium as bundled with a wider google subscription, aka Google One or the like
Well well well… We have a Google fanboy here.
While you at it, route all your traffic though Google’s new and shiny proxy, for that extra privacy peace of mind. /s
You’re in the wrong forum
I will just stop using youtube (unless necessary and I deal with the ads the 2x monthly I use it for “how to replace radiator 2002 camry” or similar) before I pay them.
I’m on someone else’s Google One, so I get it for free. For now, that means I can run yt-dlp on those pesky premium-only videos, which is nice.
This is (sadly) the way. Use a VPN to get a better deal in another country as well for extra bang for the buck
yt-dlp and PeerTube.
Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.
Same, I never saw the adblocker screen to this day.
They don’t roll these measures out to all YT accounts at once. I had to start a new google account to get the uBlock/Firefox combo to work again.
I’m just waiting for the day DRM comes to other ad-riddled websites…
I’ll go back to irc, I’m over this current internet, we need a new one.
I always wanted to get into IRC, where should one start?
Or an old one, maybe…
I uninstalled and reinstalled ublock and restarted my computer and it worked amazingly. I’m sorry if it doesn’t for you! Like others said, try clearing cookies/history/errything.
UPDATE: Ads. I was wrong. I will try updating again.
