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.
Is this an American thing? Haven’t had any issues with this in the EU
Never mind. See below.
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.
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.

If you are using chrome, ditch it and use something like braver or firefox.
We are already in 2024, which means that Chrome probably does not support manifest-V2 anymore. (What an unexpected turn of events)
I’ve been seeing these posts for a couple of months now, but I haven’t had any issues with uBlock origin and Chrome at work, or uBlock origin and Firefox at home. Why am I able to still use these things if YouTube has been blocking them for a couple of months now?
Same, they must not have rolled it out to everyone, I have firefox/ublock origin on PC and android and have yet to see an ad on youtube, and the quality and speed of loading seem to be fine.
I doubt they would ever do this, but I wonder if they have some metric about the user’s likeliness of clicking ads, and prevent more ‘advertisable’ users from blocking the ads but let some keep blocking them because it wouldn’t make as much of a difference, or they would just leave youtube. If my adblock stopped working I would stop using youtube, without a doubt. I am allergic to ads.
That actually seems plausible. I never click anything except for a video I’m searching for. I don’t engage on YouTube, and if there’s an unskippable ad, I immediately leave. So I would definitely fall into the “unlikely to click ads” category.
I guess it would contribute to the confusion too. Works on my computer.
Here is a website that keeps track of the latest YouTube anti-adblock scripts and if uBlock Origin’s filters are updated to bypass it: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/
Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.
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.
Same, I never saw the adblocker screen to this day.
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.
AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)
If you have the means, you could self-host a Piped server? Otherwise, try out https://piped.video.
If it’s a mobile problem, get Newpipe. It’s not on the App Store, you have to go on the website to get it, but it absolutely is worthwhile. Firefox and you block still works just fine though on desktop.
You said App Store. Can Apple users install NewPipe? I have it on Android, but my wife uses iOS, and we thought she wouldn’t be able to use it.
For my daily driver iOS device I use invidious webui, but my mrs + kids are all fine using yattee as an app frontend to invidious.
Thank you.

No issues with:
- Firefox+ uBlock Origin (PC)
- Freetube (PC)
- NewPipe (Android)
- SmartTube (Android/Google TV)
I saw a warning once a while ago on Firefox… and completely forgot this was a thing until I saw this post right now. I’ve had absolutely no issues. I guess I’m lucky…?
I dont think it’s luck, Firefox and ublock origin have continued working fine on YouTube for all of the people that I know use it, at least on PC. I think everybody got the warning popup at least once.
Unfortunately, Firefox usage is at an all time low. Google just hasn’t had time to get around us.
Same, I never saw a single ad on YouTube and I use it a lot
I can confirm the first 3 are working for me as well.
