Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
Recently, YouTube has been ramping up its anti-adblock effort, and I’ve been watching this closely due to personal interest. This blog post is where I write down what I know. Some Background Here’s...
Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.
You're viewing a single thread.
I've moved on from trying to block the ads to using a front-end and a macro to do the annoying part for me. It's been nice. I hadn't realized how bad youtube's UI was until seeing a clean one. I definitely recommend using one of the less notable ones, they seem to be faster.
That's also how I often access YT. Libreddit is already selfhosted in the local network (+ wireguard on clients) and I'll look into hosting something for YT.
Sadly most people want to keep their recommendations and the UI, so they'll stay on the official site.
Which one do you use? I've never heard of them until reading this post but you've got me interested.
It's an invidious instance, but I ain't tellin!
