Revisiting YouTube's Anti-Ad blocker Message (beehaw.org)

The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @[email protected], and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @[email protected] and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

If im not mistaken, you cannot open a video in a new tab. Since it isn't a website, it works in invidious tho.

I was referring to YT sometimes hiding videos from the feed of new content. For example when GDQ adds 30 videos in a day, YT will simply ignore them and not list them unless I go directly to their channel's page. with FreeTube, it's just a linear list of videos by published date, and it shows you which you've watched too.

To your point, yes, you can't open a new tab, but since everything is listed in order and marked, it's way easier than using tabs.

it won't open a new TAB, but if you middle click on freetube logo or a video thumbnail it'll open a new freetube window and play that.
