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.
I will just stop using youtube (unless necessary and I deal with the ads the 2x monthly I use it for “how to replace radiator 2002 camry” or similar) before I pay them.
Use open source youtube third party apps and everything will be good, For pc freetube, For tv smarttube next, For android newpipe, libretube, clipious, revanced, There’s also some for ios, but my last iphone was iphone 5s so i don’t know how is it now
Since he mentioned invidious, I an guessing he doesn’t wanna use any third party clients or sites. I myself only use freetube and piped variants for privacy reasons but I have to admit, they lack a lot of features and hard to recommend for non privacy concerned people.
Edit: Oh the modded ones like revanced and smarttube(is it?) on other hand is super easy and worth trying
I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.
The way I solved this was to leave my regular browser setup alone, make a new Firefox profile just for YouTube, install ONLY ublock origin, and create a shortcut to that profile on my desktop.
Now I only use that profile for YouTube. I haven’t seen one ad since this thing started.
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.
I haven’t had a SINGLE adblock message when I use YouTube with Adguard + Ublock origin and the FF “strict” option for privacy.
But I also don’t log into any accounts.
My wife was getting messages all the time (logged in) with the same adblockers. I installed an add-on that speeds up ads so fast that you don’t even notice them. LOL Problem solved!
I personally don’t use Youtube (I prefer using Libredirect with Piped/Invidious) but I tried Youtube on Firefox with UBlock and I didn’t have any problem. This might sound dumb but what filters do you use on UBlock? I have read that turning on some filters would help with this but I’m not sure.
Yeah, in general, you’ll be fine with Firefox and any of the default filters uBlock provides (even the ones that are disabled by default). The issue usually comes from outdated third-party filter lists that try to block youTube’s tracking. Since the changes, you should pretty much only rely on the official lists for anything YouTube-related.
Or maybe OP’s got another extension that tries to block ads. I know I’ve had to disable Enhancer for YouTube’s ad blocking (because YouTube detects it immediately).
Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn’t stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.
I have also heard of revanced.app for mobile, but never tried it.
