Yes and no. I was suspecting something was up with YouTube ads because I'm getting this error "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: ...)" with the extension Improve YouTube!.
When I disable it the error disappears. Also when I reload the page while it's on, I can then watch the videos. But that's really annoying. Usually the video page with the error will refresh automatically after a while, so I suspect the error refers to the actual ad and not the main video. And after the YouTube has determined that the ad has played (or thinks I have watched it) for long enough the main video gets loaded automatically which of course does not cause an error since it's not blocked.
Interestingly when I disable the Improve YouTube! extension ads are being blocked normally. I use uBlock Origin and Gostery as well.
- ent101 7y agoI used to get that error, but starting today I simply get the ads.
- emsign 7y agoI have to stand corrected, even after disabling that extension I get the error. But no ads so far. I'm sure the ad-blockers will be able to bypass it soon.
- NoPicklez 7y agoOh that's why I've been getting that error, extremely frustrating
