And note. I am a developer, not only a user, and can implement whatever is missing now.

[GamOfCatAndOfMouse]

Vivaldi in a good alternative to Opera browser. In Firefox, Brave, Chrome, Chromium, Edge Chromium, no ads in YouTube (with Adblock Plus ou Ublock Origin addon) and third party cookies blocked.

[carewolf]

Possibly, but I am a QtWebEngine developer, so I prefer to eat my own dogfood.

Trying Firefox on youtube recently. I also noted it didn't have the 5 second countdown. Several months ago we started seeing the countdown for prerolls in Falkon, but not the ads themselves. Perhaps this was fixed in easylist, and the new failure to block related to us never managing to block that?

Thanks. That seems implementatable. I am just a bit confused since the official easylist rules doesn't contain any such rules, and the rule writing guidelines states it is not allowed in block lists. So is that something other users of easylist does on top of block lists?

It also raises questions of how to maintain it for end-users.

Snippets are used in other lists

Thanks, implementing override-property-read, json-prune, and using those extra two rules did the job!

That just leaves how to distribute the rules, I guess it would be convenient if easylist could provide these. If politically unacceptable in the main list, then perhaps in separate block list? In theory these two rules shouldn't pose a security risk, though getting rules parsing fully safe against potentially hostile sources is always a challenge, and of course there are many other snippet rules, and perhaps some of the rest is more abusable.

You could use uBO lists and implement the rest of scriptlets in falkon, this way you'll benefit of that list

Youtube ads seem to getting around the list.

[maxxyme]

I can confirm I see ads on Youtube again since yesterday...

[carewolf]

Started to see preroll ads again this week. Not sure what has changed.

[kenshirokusami1979]

I have custom rules for youtube. However, using it breaks certain functions of the site, like Save to Playlist and hiding unwanted video types. I'd like a solution rather than blocking ublock for youtube

Code: Select all

www.youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer.ytd-rich-grid-renderer.style-scope
www.youtube.com##tp-yt-paper-dialog.ytd-popup-container.style-scope > .ytd-popup-container.style-scope
www.youtube.com###foreground-content
www.youtube.com##.ytd-popup-container.style-scope > .ytd-mealbar-promo-renderer.style-scope

[carpenter]

there's a new overlay on mobile YouTube

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/live/0T52v3WlFBY

The video automatically pauses until you dismiss the pop-up.

i can block the elements with this:

Code: Select all

youtube.com##ytm-bottom-sheet-overlay-renderer
youtube.com##.modern-overlay.bottom-sheet-overlay-scrim

however, the auto pause is still active.

[DogancanYr]

Code: Select all

www.youtube.com###masthead-ad > .ytd-rich-grid-renderer.style-scope

[Yuki]

@DogancanYr Provide details such that what blocker and lists you use and DOM tree of the element, rule is not helpful. We removed

Code: Select all

###masthead-ad

as this is used as bait and also because the element you see is usually handled by another rule

Code: Select all

youtube.com##ytd-banner-promo-renderer

. In fact we haven't had such an ad-slip report so far.

[KittyKate]

i can block the elements with this:

Code: Select all

youtube.com##ytm-bottom-sheet-overlay-renderer
youtube.com##.modern-overlay.bottom-sheet-overlay-scrim

You all are geniuses with this tool.

Thank you for designing something so simple because I only know how to use Block Element, and it only complicated the issue further.

I am seeing ads in embedded videos, but not on YT itself.
For example, this has an ad before the actual content

Code: Select all

[url]https://rocketbeans.tv/mediathek/video/31707[/url]

Whilst this starts right away

Code: Select all

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7-RGJQ00bs[/url]

Hi,
Recently on YouTube, a short video advert
automatically plays before the main video

even though the video ads are not visible,
I can still hear the audio --
then later "skip ads" appear

it does not skips 5-second advertisements anymore.
Browser : Chrome
Chrome Ext. Ublock Origin

Thanks in advance for the help

[nordeye]

Update:
Is it only me experiencing this?
Looks like Ublock Origin can block the video
but I can here the audio advert in youtube

[JustPassing]

Youtube's been detecting adblockers for about a week now. A message would show up as an overlay that I could close easily. However, today, it's taken the place of the video.

I'm using Firefox 118.0.1 and uBlock Origin on Windows 11. Lists are up-to-date. Thanks.

Edit: After testing, I figured out it was Enhancer for Youtube that was causing the problem. Everything's fine.

[JustPassing]

(sorry for double posting, can't edit my previous post)

Uh, spoke too soon. Now, Youtube detects ad blockers. I've tried disabling all Firefox add-ons except for uBlock Origin with no success... Had to deactivate all ad blockers to finally get vids to play. Could it be linked to my account? When going to private browsing with all add-ons active (including ad blockers), videos play. Are they blocking based on my account rather than on actually detecting ad blockers?

[fanboy]

We've changed plenty of YT elements recently, if you (or anyone) see missing banners. right click, inspect and attach a screenshot.

[KittyKate]

It's back for me, again. "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service"

In the past I would update the filters (I'm using uBO, but Brave is blocked as well), turn off the filter, refresh, turn the filter back on, refresh and the issue was fixed.

Not this time.

[Steeg]

Any way to filter out the "Most Replayed" thing? Not just the graph part, all of it. I'd like it to just show the precise time when you hover on a point on the timeline, like it normally does on videos that don't have the feature, instead of it calling a chunk of the video Most Replayed, and just showing one time for that whole swath of the video.
