Last few days youtube is showing overlay ads again. Example: https://imgur.com/3nzuhEF
Mozilla's tools helped to find html code for "Another video" ad:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

<div class="ytp-ce-element ytp-ce-video ytp-ce-element-show ytp-ce-top-right-quad ytp-ce-size-1920" tabindex="0" aria-label="Video &quot;Little Big - Uno - Russia 🇷🇺 - Official Music Video - Eurovision 2020&quot;" data-layer="4" style="width: 294px; height: 165px; left: 1079.61px; top: 152px;">
    <div class="ytp-ce-element-shadow"></div>
    <div class="ytp-ce-covering-image" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/L_dWvTCdDQ4/maxresdefault.webp&quot;);"></div>
    <div class="ytp-ce-covering-shadow-top"></div>
    <a class="ytp-ce-covering-overlay" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_dWvTCdDQ4" tabindex="-1">
        <div class="ytp-ce-video-title yt-ui-ellipsis yt-ui-ellipsis-2" dir="ltr">Little Big - Uno - Russia 🇷🇺 - Official Music Video - Eurovision 2020</div>
        <div class="ytp-ce-video-duration">3:14</div>
    </a>
</div>
So I added the following filters into "My filters" options section:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-video
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element-show
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-top-right-quad
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-size-1920
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element-shadow
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-covering-image
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-covering-shadow-top
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-covering-overlay
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-video-title
youtube.com##.yt-ui-ellipsis
youtube.com##.yt-ui-ellipsis-2
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-video-duration
It worked and also helped against subscribe button. I think it is due the button has some similar <div> elements though it has a lot other ones. Just in case I added the following filters:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

youtube.com##.ytp-ce-channel
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-channel-this
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-top-left-quad
But maybe I overdid it a bit.

As with Atting73, I'm seeing YouTube's video ads before play starts. Sometimes an empty frame, as in the image above, sometimes with actual ads loading.

I'm also intermittently getting the "Skip Ad" message.
Another new one is "Group Ads?".

I also get ads on youtube.
Previously, it was just an empty frame with a "skip" button, now the ad is played completely.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin.

Adding the following rule to My Filters has solved the problem.

Code: Select all

youtube.com##+js(json-prune, playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.playerAds adPlacements playerAds)
The filter is taken from the uBlock Filters.
So alternatively, you can tick that list and you wouldn't have to add it that rule to My Filters.

If you're on Adblock Plus, and see youtube pre-roll ads.

Manually add the following lines (click on ABP, cog menu, Advanced Tab, Add to My Filter List):

Code: Select all

youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#json-prune playerResponse.adPlacements
youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#json-prune playerResponse.playerAds
youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#json-prune adPlacements
youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#json-prune playerAds
youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#override-property-read playerResponse.adPlacements undefined 
youtube.com,youtube-nocookie.com#$#override-property-read ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements undefined
Once added, refresh the youtube page. Let me know if this helps with the preroll youtube ads, thanks

# edit, also force a update of lists. Advanced, force update of lists (still keep the above filters).

Ads are not played in incognito/private mode.
In main version, I deleted all youtube cookies - ads still play before start of the video.

Any idea how to block the new "Sign In" request which appears on many YouTube videos if you're not signed in?

Image

Firefox + uBO.

Thank you.

As we know many people are running into the infamous blank ad screen, and are frustrated by this situation. I was surprised to see this, because I thought in was encountered only when your signed in, but I wasn't. Im guessing this is a A&b testing that YouTube is testing right now, it happened in march, and its happening now.

You can encounter this ads regardless if your signed in or not. So being signed in does not factor into the blank ads showing up.

The video and I found this on other videos spawnwave and a celldweller has made.

encountered on chrome Version 86.0.4240.183

ublock origin version 1.30.6

Update: They have shown up with the adguard filter on, we need to wait a little longer for this to be resolved. And as of late a domain has shown called google syndication. Its an ad domain that has shown up on google when I typed in a certain pizza place, but here its on YouTube.

Im not sure if they have to do with the ads showing up, but its a guess. I really hope this gets resolved soon.

I found the name of it when I element blocked it with ublock origin

Not to open another Yt thread. Recently, on playlists when a new video is about to start playing the entire page reloads. This only seems to happen with ublock on.

The most recent, current change in Easylist: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/co ... 2645b08e39

Which currently helps stopping the prerolls. @Batokusanagi

Well, I don't see prerolls at least, but as it is I've had to disable Easylist for playlists to work properly.

hi,
my problem is with opera gx browser. Basically every single ad blocker, from the one integrated to every other single one installable, doesn't function on youtube at the start of every video. Everything is ok with the ads in the middle of the video since they don't pop up, but every video i click i have to watch all the beginning ads everytime, sometimes even unskippable, and the adblock does nothing even though is active and says is blocking the ads. I encountered this problem in the last week or so, and it's sooooooo frustrating (i tried the same adblockers on other browsers like chrome and firefox and there's no issue there, they block everything as they should do). Please help me and fix it, i'm losing it.

Would take it up with your browser, it should be resolved in ABP, uBO and Brave.

Any suggestions for what I could try to add to my manual filter to try to get the prerolls to disappear?

Looking through the dev-tools, nothing sticks out, the preroll ad videos seems to have similar naming convension as the content video, and I don't see anything else.

Falkon. Which uses QtWebEngine as a backend.

I am starting to suspect google might be doing some partial rollout of a change. Since the issue came about 4-5 days ago, and doesn't seem to hit firefox, it might be limited to non-chrome chromium derivatives.

If you don't like youtube ads, switching browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave) will be the only option. Basic network blocking won't be enough to stop youtube ads unfortantly @carewolf

What has changed 4 days ago to cause that?

As far as I can see the rules list still only use rules that the browser supports. It is lacking snippet and extended CSS filters, but those do not appear to be used on youtube?
