Youtube trialling new ad-blocking

@somnomania, you can import these with the IMDB extension to Odysee

That sounds needlessly complicated, but I can look into it if the adblock thing ends up too much of a pain, I guess. But I'm betting that won't work with live feeds on YT, which are the main content my mom watches (and she's had the adblocker message, while I haven't yet).

it's arrived in brazil too, jeez youtube...

[Catweazle]

@jorgefilho, until now no more of this crap using Adblock Plus

[jorgefilho]

@Catweazle thanks for the tip.

I'm just trying this, and everything from vivaldi's ad blocking, to ublock origin and adnauseum trigger youtube's new video blocking.

@CalebM
I wasn't either but I seen an update for Vavaldi and immediately after started getting pop ups on YT and now i'm blocked totally unless I buy premium, allow ads, or find another blocker. Whatever you do don't update. I restarted the browser yesterday and I quit getting the pop up but today I accidentally closed my YT tab and now I'm getting blocked again and another restart didn't fix it.

I have gotten a couple pop-up windows on YouTube recently telling me that ad-blockers are not permitted, but so far, nothing I have tried to access has been blocked. All I have to do is to clear the window and continue what I was doing. I don't know why browsers even allow sites to know that their ads are being blocked. If the browser blocks the ad on a person's local computer, how does the site know?

I've had this happen as well. Using uBlock Origin. Just a box saying youtube doesn't allow using an adblocker with a couple of options at the bottom, can't recall what they were, and an x button top right. Click the x and continue on.

Annoying, but doesn't break anything... yet.

Same here.

It would be good to know if those who see ads also see them through feeds? (in Vivaldi feeds or Feedbro, for example)

[Dancer18]

@barbudo2005 I have no feeds at the moment.

[barbudo2005]

The point is to know if for those channels and playlists that you check every day, watching them through feeds is a solution to the problem?

Or will YT simply discern that you are not watching them through its page and block them.

[Catweazle]

For the moment I have managed to block these ads and not see these ugly popups again.
I have used the Vivaldi blocker again with the lists belowm using the JShelter and Clickbait Remover for YouTube extension, deleting cache and Serviceworkers - until now all clean

@smb11 i have recieved a notifcation on youtube the 3 strike thing , but then after that gone to my gmail with a message from adblocker them selves saying they are working in this , had to stop using adblocker in you tube for now , but adblocker is aware of this , just hope that Vivaldi staff can help to get this done faster

[Dancer18]

@Catweazle Thank you! I added your lists to uBO and it is working too.

[Catweazle]

@Dancer18, well, it's fine, but personally if the Vivaldi blocker works well, i prefer to use it instead of an extensión, as with any Vivaldi funcion which works fine for me. The only exception are screenshot and translation, but there i prefer use Desktop apps instead of extensions (ShareX and Crow Translate).

that's the issue, it's not enough

[Catweazle]

@iAN-CooG, it is, with the mencioned filters and the JShelter extension I have not seen anymore ads, popups or ugly advices on YT or on any other page.

WELL is not the same as EQUAL.

..with the mencioned filters and the JShelter extension...

If you are already using an extension even though you said it was not to your liking, then the relevant question is which alternative is better:

1.- uBO extension

2.- Built-in adblocker + JShelter extension

@Catweazle said in Youtube trialling new ad-blocking:

and the JShelter extension

so you're using an extension anyway! why even bother and don't just use ublock origin Just to be "different" ?
