I'm sure there's a better fix, but I found that if I block the pop up, I can't click anything on the screen EXCEPT I can right click and do picture in picture and can play and do everything I need. If I go back, I can at least see what I want to watch, click it, then do pip.
FUCK ADS
fuck ads = fuck google. google is the reason the internet is shit now.
I'd argue it's a mountain thing. I think they helped it get to a great place.. then decided to make more billions by making it worse.
You go up, you go down.
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 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've been using ProtonVPN on my router with adblock and antimalware features enabled, and uBlock on Firefox and I've never encountered a problem when I click on YouTube links.
I normally use invidious anyway.
Are you using chrome or Firefox?
AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)
inconvenient but cobalt.tools
I have to log out, clear cookies, update/clear block lists, then log back in.
Did you delete Google and Youtube cookies when you reloaded the UBlock stuff? That's a necessary step.
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.
Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed
Yeah also on firefox
Pihole does nothing in this case
If you say so, i just noted that that's my setup and that it works.
Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.
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.
