youtube getting more aggressive.. i've got firefox and ublock but this shit is still coming up
I unfortunately have a youtube addiction but I have canceled my subscription and will be using proper adblocking at home and alternatives like piped on mobile.
I've started transitioning to Odysee. It's like YT but less evil.
looking at it, it seems pretty good
usually i use invidious on a pc and revanced on android
i already had revanced on most of my devices but i put it on my main phone too after getting this bs
Not exactly an original opinion but I hate this. I watch ads on my Roku app, I watch them on the mobile app, can't they just let it go on web browser? This just wreaks of greed
Every report i've passed claims yt is running in the reds for years, assuming this is true i can understand it.
But i'm still very happy adblock works for me on pc, the ads i get on tv are too many, too often.
I have enhancer for youtube extension for firefox and I get to just cross it off
I'm pretty sure enhancer was one of the adblocks YouTube could detect. Uncheck that option and install ublock origin when you've got the chance.
Yeah same. Idk why I've got ublock setup, tried resetting the filter cache, reinstalled unlock (idk if that helps but had to try) and I still get these.
Am I the only one who thinks "Allowlisted" is a seriously stupid term? Why, pray tell, can't we use name of a colour anymore?
And no, I won't Caucasianlist YouTube, ever.
Fuck YouTube
What happen if you simply use opera or brave? The default anti tracking functionality normally triggers these protections, it blocks you just for browsing a certain browser? Without even having any adblock plugin
That too. There's. New dystopian Rayman universe show on Netflix rn.
don't know why nobody mentioned this but opening each video in new private tab works just fine
Just saw the "will be blocked after 3 videos" for the first time" (I was only seeing the generic warning so far). Updated filters and it went away.
I recently stumbled upon this post; seems like filing a complaint to said entity is something you can do if you're in the EU. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to. The fella over there has even provided the text he's sent. If what is said is true and it's indeed illegal for YouTube to show such prompts (and if that entity receives enough complaints), they might be forced to withdraw them (unless they're using some legal loophole already).
Same story, different day.
I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn't see it popup it was still there.
