Or just download Brave and do what I'm doing, just use Brave for Youtube.

I use chrome all the time so i don't need another browser just for YT, uBlock is doing its job fine, for now anyway, and has been for years, 14.7m ads blocked to date.

Hi All,

What is the latest extension set up for Chrome?

Currently I have Adblock, Privacy Badger, Tamper Monkey and uBlock - all of which no longer work on Youtube!

Anybody else faced this issue overnight?

Thank you

Adblock was causing problems for me so I removed it completely. Just running with uBlock ORIGIN here and haven't had any problems with YT months now - all works good .

Had the warning message pop up yesterday. During my last three videos before my family were murdered, I found a solution......on youtube.

I have also noticed on platforms where the odd advert appears, a quick search of Amazon almost always reveals the exact same product, produced by the same companies, for quite a bit less.

I have also reduced my Netflix subscription and the adverts are more than bearable.

Adguard on Firefox is working for me. Not sure if it helps, but I don't sign in to my account anymore.

I was using YouTube enhanced plug in on chrome, this also removes stuff like shorts and adds sponsorblock.

However Google forced them to get rid of adblock feature so I just downloaded an older version before the nerf

On mobile I use Revanced. This also adds sponsorblock and removes the crap you don't want, like shorts.

Some shorts are nice.

Anyone noticed the absence of ads on YT recently? I'm not getting any at all on either my Android phone or my PC.

I've read that Youtube's Adblock-Detection violates many country's privacy laws, at least all the free countries that look after their citizens not the USA which allows corporations to do as they please for profit. See what has happened to Apple in Europe being forced to use USB C and being sued for €2bn in another anti-trust violation, that wouldn't be allowed to happen in the land of the not free.

Adding a +1 for Brave browser. Seems to work really well, even at blocking mid-video ads.
