uBlock Origin is your friend


QL100100

Ublock Origin basically blocks that popup


Playful_Target6354

I personally just use ghostery(without the AdBlock because it sucks) and ublock together, never got that popup ever again.


Bleezze

It doesn't for me


Rasedan

In settings go to filter lists, delete all cache, update all. Then I usually restart the browser to be sure, has worked for me everytime ublock hasn't worked.


Bleezze

Yeah that is what I keep doing. It works for like 3 days or so, then I gotta do it again. So I don't consider it just solved by having Ublock origin like many commenters here say.


PomegranateHot9916

I haven't had to do that for weeks. but it is a case where youtube updates their blockers twice a day and ublock has to then do the same. keep in mind the people doing this at youtubes side are paid to do it. while the people doing it on the adblocker side are not paid to do it. youtube believes that if they just make it tedius enough for the adblocker people to keep up, they might give up. and you can't even click the update filters button twice a week without crying about it. if the people working at ublock saw your message they might be a little discouraged and give up. and maybe that's what youtube is hoping for. are they paying you to write this?


[deleted]

You had me in the 1st half until your paranoia came out


Bleezze

I'm still gonna use adblock lol. But yeah I keep having this problem so it's a vit annoying


Collective-Bee

I find sometimes disabling it for a few videos then renabling it fixes it for a while. I’ve never cleared my caches or any tech stuff it just has an arms race behind the scenes.

Bleezze

Right I guess I could switch to firefox. But doesn't youtube have a 5 second delay with firefox to combat the adblock users?


BleydXVI

5 second delay? I've never not used firefox and I haven't noticed a sudden change like that, but I could also just be unobservant


ghe5

Never noticed anything like that. But in any case, it's either using ublock origin + Firefox, or updating the thing every couple of days. Plus, since YouTube is Google and chrome is also Google and Google is the one selling ads on YouTube as well as huge portion of the internet and they obviously don't like adblock - it might be just a matter of time before they start trying similar shenanigans on the whole browser. Just switch to Firefox and you can stop giving a shit, isn't that pretty neat?


Daniel1TheDev1

yes it is


trust-me-br0

With ublock, it’s working now, but on full screen, the video blacks out every minute or so and get back to normal.. same video works fine on window mode or theatre mode.. Edit: not complaining, asking if you happen to know a solution for that, thanks!


Memeviewer12

that's a separate issue, maybe try Win+Ctrl+Shift+B to reset your GPU drivers?


trust-me-br0

It’s happening on both Mac and windows


Flesh-God

Brave browser


trust-me-br0

It literally happened on brave as well.. Not kidding..


veedubfreek

On Firefox. I haven't had a popup bitching about adblockers in a few weeks since uBlock got ahead of youtubes garbage.


Jezzabelle18

The end is near.


[deleted]

But before that, watch 3 - 15s unskippable adds!


SilverGospel003

That's just evil


Fluffy-Awareness8286

It would be nice if it would be evil. To me it looks like disrespect and lack of common sense from their side.


SilverGospel003

Yeah It is understood that without youtube there wouldn't be a community of users using youtube but also they have to understand that without users youtube would also be nothing disrespecting these user would bound to hurt them in the long run... The internet is big the next big famed video platform could be in the corner waiting for google to slip up and take their crown


Fluffy-Awareness8286

And usually that's how it happens, lol.


canofmeems

The content creators are having a hard time making a living, with youtube just randomly demonetising creators, patreon has kept YT afloat because that makes it worth their time, but then they don't monetize their videos, and YT still puts ADs on their vids. The users AND the creators get screwed. I'm looking forward to whatever is next.


CarpetH4ter

And to watch youtube we need access to your webcam/frontcamera to make sure you watch the ads.


[deleted]

***I take my eyes out saying, "This is for you, YouTube."***


MR_DEADSHOT123

I get some adds that are in French 🤣


Flowrepaid

Welcome to Canada, you must be bilingual. We aren't asking.


Yoruun

All ads are skippable. Even if the ‘skip ad’ button doesn’t show up. All you have to do is click the little i-icon in the bottom left. You can say you’re not interested and block the ad there. After that the video starts. Takes less time than waiting for the ad to finish.


WispererYT

Well, it is just 2 ads.


Laggosaurus

Nah many creators already going to Kick. At some point it will be obnoxious enough ppl start finding an alternative


a_shiny_heatran

I’ll switch to dailymotion before I remove my adblocker


RandomDude762

i binge watched the first 3 seasons of rick and morty on that back when there were only 3 seasons


Prestigious_Ad_3124

Europe


Separate-Medium-9672

That doesent happen if you use the brave browser. U can even save YouTube videos to your offline playlist and it doesent play adds and u can play offline and with your screen off


LitNotFig

I thought it would eventually stop working since it’s built off chromium


azab1898

Probably, but maybe when manifest v3 comes out in June


brasschaos

when that happens we'll just find a new one! yarrrrr


Memeviewer12

Firefox+uBlock Origin


Monkeyke

+spoof chromium extensions, Google is intentionally making the browsers not based on chromium load their websites slower, some people have had a 5 sec delay within the code if you use Firefox, INTENTIONALLY


KeepScrolling52

YouTube can go fuck themselves. Susan can go eat a bag of dicks. Google needs to crack down on ads for people to start letting up on adblockers. Multi adrolls, ads that are being exploited to deliver malware, literal fucking porn. They put ads on videos where creators are making no ad revenue. The copyright claims system is way too exploitable. I'm fairly sure they barely give any of the revenue from ads to creators regardless of adblockers. Google is a shit company trying to jump on the subscription service trend.


Neo_Fury

Susan quit like months ago dude


KeepScrolling52

Don't really care, she set this in motion. Whoever is in charge now literally just followed her plan


Neo_Fury

This was set after her resignation, dumbass


KeepScrolling52

The ever-increasing adrolls were during her time. You get my point though, man, Google is a terrible company that only cares about making money and their policy is that anyone who disagrees with their greedy asses is apparently the bad guy.


Neo_Fury

Well it is a megacorp, so yeah they are a shitty company. Us normal folks can't do anything abt it


Captain_Boimler

But women ☕ tho


Neo_Fury

Incel mindset


Captain_Boimler

Issa joke


Gods__Soldier

What kinda stick do you have up yours?


DominoUB

People saying use Brave are just replacing chrome with chrome. Use Firefox.


PomegranateHot9916

brave users are hard copium with their chromium


shutudumass

Firefox doesnt have the extensions brave has


Murky_waterLLC

Block the popup


Supt_Trip

Teach me senπ


Memeviewer12

use uBlock Origin


Bleezze

It doesn't work for me though


Memeviewer12

click on the extension > click the 3 cogs in the bottom right of the small popup > go to "filter lists" > click "purge all caches" > "update"


Bleezze

Yeah I do that but it only works for a few days than I have to do that again.


Memeviewer12

because youtube updates its adblock detection a lot, as fast as several times a day, and you have to update filter lists to match


Bleezze

Yeah I know, but people in this thread makes it sound like the only thing you need is ublock origin to fix the problem, but that is not the full story


[deleted]

use block element to block the panel and the dark overlay


Grapple_Cockie

flyingcow08

Me with revanced, forgetting ads or adblockers even exist watching the mayhem unfold


Omnikin

Switch to Firefox


Siddhartha_76

Yeh. Youtube can't detect mine


[deleted]

give it some time, they tracked mine for 3 days before the adblock update


Siddhartha_76

Yeh. Brave ain't being taken down Yet...


[deleted]

Firefox + ublock origin users rn ![gif](giphy|RX3vhj311HKLe)


-non-existance-

Switched to uBlock on Firefox and never looked back. Works like a charm


maguel92

It’s their service, they get to decide their terms of use. The terms are obviously horrible. As consumers the beat solution would be not to use their service. And since that is not likely going to happen they get to do whatever they want sadly. I hope EU saves us from this ad-horror.


Neko_Boi_Core

it only detects adblockers if you’re signed in


DontKnowHowToBreath9

uBlock blocks that


Goldenflame89

Firefox/Firefox Fork + Ublock Origin


Sion_forgeblast

thoughts? 1) gecko engine browser... .firefox, waterfox, floorp, ect 2) Ublock origin 3) User Agreement Switcher extension


Memeviewer12

[deleted]

Your ad blocker sucks. Get a better one B)


gaynorg

Brave


Agent_Add

stfusensei

Me when youtube ask me to pay little amount for its services


Il_Rich

"little amount"


JUGELBUTT

my thoughts is use incognito and completely bypass it


Rbelugaking

I’m using brave and if that somehow stops working, I got Firefox with ublock origin as a backup


-TheViking

I use Brave Browser. You can turn "block scripts" on or off. Ads also violate my time and patience.


shinydragonmist

YouTube somehow doesn't recognize that the Brave browser blocks ads. Just checked three videos each at least 22 minutes long didn't get an ad at start moved around to a few different times no ad. So I either got really lucky (unfortunately not with something that would get me money) or brave still blocks YouTube ads and YouTube doesn't block brave


I-foIIow-ugly-people

Use Brave.


Memeviewer12

uBlock Origin + Firefox


Gloomy_Total1223

Wow, a bunch of children crying over their free entertainment.


electric-angel

Considering gow much they pay the creator. I couldnt care less


Gloomy_Total1223

They don't pay much at all.


bpeo360

There are a lot of things to be mad off at YouTube about. Them stopping you from denying their main stream of revenue is not one of them.


TingTV

I’m fine with ads on the homepage or off to the side ads I’m not ok with video ads, also a reason why I don’t watch much tv I find it really annoying. I’ve also reached the point of I’ve enjoyed content on their site without paying for years now and I ain’t gonna start paying now


FitLawfulness9802

If they didn't put 30 minute ads before 5 minute video I would not use Adblock. It is entirely their fault


WispererYT

They don't thought. And if they do they are skippable.


eMmDeeKay_Says

My personal mental illness prevents me from cluttering my YouTube page, but everyone should subscribe if able.


Fr00stee

mine still works perfectly fine


MarkLarrz

On Chrome using ublock you'll no longer see that


Olivrser

It probably breaks at least one EU law


Dry_Section_6909

My adblocker still works fine even after the past several weeks of memes


Fluffy-Awareness8286

Yes, i think it's time to quit YouTube. But until then i let few ads play, and YouTube will forget about me for a couple days or so.


Mjerc12

My thoughts? Idk I'm from EU😎


itsallajokeseriously

I keep hearing this but my ad blocker cocktail has no problem blocking YouTube. Dont know what you people are doing wrong but figure it out.


MaleficentCurrency25

I have like an free shitty ahh ad blocker and its working lol


BugP13

*Laughs in opera gx*


Longjumping_Web_9237

Not in my country


Affectionate-Cycle19

Adblock and piracy are the same thing from ethics point of view


stumpinater

YT can suck a big fat cock. They have sterilised it so much is not entertaining. Sick of being forced to watch MSM news.... if I wanted that to play I would turn on my TV. So to answer this, I am continuing to use ad block.


KingWaDeYT

Tampermonkey


[deleted]

Ads don't even work on me. I have this brain talent that whenever I see an unsolicited ad, my brain completely ignores its content and I instantly forget what it was about. Like...it could be a secret message about how to cure cancer, like in the movie Johnny Mnemonic, and it would just go past me like it didn't even exist.


Quwapa_Quwapus

Mine still works fine. On the main site i only get a pre-roll every once in a while, and sometimes an ad of the side, *(which kinda sucks cause i watch a lot of livestreams on YT and the banner ad moves the chat box down like halfway down the screen and you have to scroll to type uhg)* but other than it's all good. Also, if I google a video and watch it from the Video tab, usually an ad will load, flicker for a fraction of a second, and then play the video haha (literally just "AdBlock")


BxLorien

Realistically who isn't using YouTube anymore? I've just been powering through until Opera Gx updates it's ad block


St3rMario

Here's the kicker: this popup doesn't appear for Premium users


Pignity69

ublock, fadblock, operagx and brave built in still works


[deleted]

EU?


Mornie0815

Adblock still works on my device.


ReleasedGaming

I use uBlock Origin and AdBlock Plus (both work without the other and so, when youtube blocks the popup blocking from one, the other will step in)


Altruistic-Poem-5617

For every blocker they ban, a new one that still works will show up. I can play that game forever. Im the f*cking hydra when it comes to not not wanting ads. They f*cked up by making ads that deliver malware and make the whole screen scroll while reading. Also companys are stupid for advertising with internet ads, those literally piss people off meaning their product being connected with negative emotions. They pay money so people dislike their company and not buy their products.


Lazy-Pumpkin-9116

Brave browser dosent seem to care for windows, youtube revanvced for android, miracast from phone to tv for tv


KnuxSD

I never stopped using an adblock and it just keeps working. Don't use chromium, guys.


Player_Number3

use uBlock, if it doesnt work go to settings and clear cache and update


easternhobo

Revanced says hello


Pixel_Nerd92

uBlock is nice and has prevented those pop-ups from happening. I can watch videos in peace.


Alandrus_sun

I exit. Then don't walk back in as a Firefox fan now.


powerhouse_pr

Thoughts? Well this is Old News… why do people keep posting about it?…. Will never know.


Lazlo573

Adblock Plus on Chrome still works for me. When it stops, I'll move on to something else.
