- dowager_dan99 2y agoalso you'd think that the pushers of this agenda would get real-time updates to things like block lists metadata. God knows they do it themselves several times a day...
- iszomer 2y agoRealistically, how often is this functionality used en' mass? I remember using it once or twice throughout my lifetime of using this extension.
- jisnsm 2y agoAn ad blocker is useless to me if I can’t block whatever I want with it.
- crazygringo 2y agoIt's useless if it blocks 99.9% of what you need, but not the custom 0.1% you want on top?
- jisnsm 2y agoAs long as I have an alternative I would never choose the ad blocker that doesn’t let me block the elements I want. For most websites I don’t care but there are many websites that I visit very often and removing annoying or useless elements and padding is practically mandatory at this point - I wouldn’t want to go back to not being able to do it. So, answering your question, yes, “useless” was hyperbole.
- crazygringo 2y agoI use different extensions for blocking individual elements on pages, like sticky headers or other custom divs. They're still working fine, e.g.: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/click-to-remove-element/jcgpghgjhhahcefnfpbncdmhhddedhnk https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/click-to-remove-ele...
- whstl 2y agoIf it’s anything like Safari’s declarative blocklists: Ad blocking on Youtube. Youtube-blocking Safari extensions “solve” Youtube blocking by using non-declarative APIs that need full access to Youtube. Apple seems ok with that so far, but the APIs are not as goods, so their success rate is limited. Whether Google will allow new extensions that block Youtube remains to be seen.
- betaby 2y agoCould you please tell me what "Youtube-blocking Safari extensions" are you referring? Are they MacOS only or can be installed on IPad? Thanks!
- whstl 2y agoSure! AdBlock Pro blocks video ads for me, but it shows non-video ads that you gotta skip. On iPad I just use Brave and haven't seen an ad yet.
- keybits 2y agoI can recommend Wipr 2 - excellent blocker from a great developer. I've now switched to Safari for all my YouTube watching. Universal purchase works on macOS, ipadOS and iOS.
- whstl 2y agoI just downloaded it. It works way better for Youtube than the one I had, and after some more testing I don't need the additional annoyance blockers I had. I might just go back to Safari! Thanks for the recommendation.
- crazygringo 2y ago> Ad blocking on Youtube. uBlock Origin Lite blocks all ads on YouTube for me.
- blibble 2y agoGoogle push out updates at regular intervals that detect the adblocker why didn't you notice before? ublock origin has a special quick fixes list which updates very frequently, without Google's involvement but with manifest v3: Google are now in charge and have to approve all "definition" updates which they will only do once they've got a new detection method ready and this is the entire point of manifest v3
