I have not changed anything about my browsing habits and I spend like 12 hours a day on YT, haven't yet seen this. Not very universal.

Grayjay is the best all in all app for Android and Invidious Cross Platform. It syncs everything.

Definitely not blocking here.. but.. I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube's T&C's or EU law?

Until yesterday I was blocked from youtube, despite using UBO. Today it works. I don't know if it is random or if UBO does something. Possibly it will stop working again. In any case I started using piped (hope they don't decide to do something with it).

UBO updates their filters when they can, as they find and fix changes.

Youtube directly responds to those patches by updating their system. Last I checked, they do this twice a day.

Any time your UBO isnt stopping youtube, you are using filters from before youtubes last update. Opening your UBO settings, clearing and updating your filters, and refreshing your browser fixes this.

The only time it doesnt is if UBO hasnt patched youtubes most recent changes. This window of time is teeeny tiny.

I just use the Vivaldi Browser and watch all my YouTube in browser. shrug

Just checked for myself and I'm not getting any popups, but perhaps it just hasn't quite hit my region yet?

Google chrome U block user here. Still works fine

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

there was an attempt

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only use Firefox for youtube and nothing else... it still just works the same as ever - the only ads I see are the ones the creators make themselves for sponsors. I only use Chromium-based browsers for anything that has nothing to do with google...

I’ll just use an ad blocker-blocker

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin has that feature built in

Haven't seen an anti-adblock message yet, and I block ads in all sorts of ways across my devices.
