Youtube has added a new “feature” that blocks users with adblockers from viewing videos. How do I get around this while still blocking ads? I currently use uBlock Origin on firefox.
uBlock origin > Open the dashboard > Filter lists > Uncheck uBlock Filters > Check uBlock filters
This will force an update & reapply the filters. Usually the first thing you should try when issues like this pop up
Does not work for me. At also tried download it from release and install through devloper mode
Thanks, this worked c:
Also, there’s an “Unbreak”, install it. And install YTNeuter.
i just use yt-dlp to download the video these days. i have lots of filters in addition to ublock’s default ones, somehow they’re clashing with youtube and i can’t properly play any video. yt-dlp+mpv is also much faster on my potato system, and makes me save videos.
yt-dlp gets blocked more often than Firefox + ublock Origin for me.
i always use their latest nightly build, so maybe that helps. also i generally don’t watch youtube a lot, so my ip probably didn’t get flagged yet
