Youtube trialling new ad-blocking

@luetage said in Youtube trialling new ad-blocking:
@CalebM Could you please use a real dash? A double hyphen‐minus is not a good replacement for a dash. I know it’s a bad time to start arguing about the correct use of punctuation marks, but this triggered me.
How absurd that anyone should care about such a minor thing! The fact is, I disagree with you. When a proper dash isn't available, there's nothing wrong with using two hyphens. I've been doing that for fifty years (and I'm not about to stop). Why should it "trigger" you???

Getting back to business, I have now turned off Vivaldi's ad-blocker and installed uBlock Origin, and the problems with YouTube have disappeared. Of course, those problems might start up again, but I have confidence that the developers of ad-blockers will find a way to keep up with YouTube.
Oh, let me add that I've decided to keep FireFox and use it to play YouTube videos. I have too many windows open in Vivaldi. If I continue to use FireFox, I suspect Vivaldi will become more stable. One Vivaldi window has hundreds of tabs open, and I may move that to Firefox too.

@CalebM Purge the cache and re-update the lists, if it happens:

Thanks for the tip, Hadden89.
-
@CalebM Wow, such arrogance. If you wanted to be blocked, you are succeding. Bye.
-
I'm the arrogant one??? I've got two people criticizing me for no good reason, and that makes me arrogant? By all means, block me.
-
Keep it civil and on-topic people or I will use executive privilege to simply remove any non-topic posts.

@CalebM The forum has a Block feature if some users trigger you.
Go to: https://forum.vivaldi.net/user/calebm/blocks to add users to your block list.
As a typographer, I like to use proper dashes — but it is not necessary for use on a forum. I think luetage must be tugging your chain.
Maybe on a blog, if you care about such things.

Pesala, I'm not the one who is arguing. Two people are arguing with me.
Luetage was being serious.
I am a writer AND I was a typesetter when I was younger, so I know what an M-dash is, and I know it is troublesome to type them.

@CalebM Vote for Autocorrect for Edit Boxes if you haven't done so yet. There is no such thing as autocorrect to fix other users, so just block them. Some folks are just argumentative by nature (me included).
-
We can all be argumentative at times. I am more reactive than argumentative. When someone gets petty with me, I do respond.

@CalebM I wasn’t serious, I trolled you. @barbudo2005 made a good general point and has been outstandingly helpful in this topic. I simply didn’t like your tone.

So you're a jerk. Okay, I've got it. Now leave me alone. I come here to get help, not to have my buttons pushed.

I think whats happening is that MY firefox IS currently working as i have not used it for a long time, & no doubt after some days they will discover i am using adblockers & then the circus of control will start, but for now i'm fine , however these 2 items have got my vivaldi operating as normal after having been completely blocked from any content after 3rd warning, may well work on any browser, but i prefer vivaldi.

well youtube has done it , can not use adblocker with vivialdi , they have embeded the adblock notice into the player . so can not get any videos there , i knew they would do this not so much a adblocker thing as a player thing as a said before

@aiinseinn, @glenart1, in Vivaldi you don't need Tampermonkey, you can install the script direct as an extension.
- Download the script and save it in a folder
- Open the Extension page in Vivaldi in developer mode
- Drag the script in the Extension page and click on install in the Pop-up
- Done

About four days ago, I switched from Vivaldi's adblocker to uBlock Origin and it is still working for me. I can view all of YouTube's videos. If it stops working, I'll try the script that was posted above.

@Catweazle thank you very much
-
@Catweazle Thank you for reminding us this step-by-step procedure.
-
@Catweazle stuck on third step, after dragging script on extension page browser just open new tab with source text. did I miss something?
