Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work

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 have the means, you could self-host a Piped server? Otherwise, try out piped.video.

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: drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/

Using Chrome and uBlock for work, no issues.

Firefox and uBlock for personal, no issues.

Try only using uBlock, uninstall all other extensions. Works great for me on both Firefox and Chrome.

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)

Brave usually zero ads

Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.

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.

Are you using chrome or Firefox?

For android, I use revanced.app

For desktop, I use freetubeapp.io

I use Piped + LibreTube, and I self-host Piped to get better and more consistent load times. Works very well, only minor issues every now and then.

i’m using safari on macOS, and i’ve had pretty good luck with Ad Guard Pro. when i get the adblock warning, i switch my user agent. when that doesn’t work, deleting my cookies usually does the trick.

I usually watch YouTube on a laptop hooked up to my tv, so I downloaded freetube and just imported my subscriptions. It’s got sponsorblock and other features built in, but you can’t like or comment on videos. Overall though I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and wouldn’t dream of going back to YouTube and trying to constantly deal with them fucking it up more daily.
