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
- crazygringo 2y agoJust saying, I've been using Lite for months. It's been fine.
- blibble 2y agothey'd have to be really, really stupid to start doing it before their main countermeasure has been removed
- charcircuit 2y ago>but with manifest v3: Google are now in charge and have to approve all "definition" updates No, they don't. MV3 extensions are allowed to fetch remote data which definition updates would be.
- the_af 2y ago> uBlock Origin Lite blocks all ads on YouTube for me. Someone else is saying uBlock Origin Lite leaves a "skippable blank" where the ad used to be, while I know for a fact uBlock Origin completely and transparently skipped over the ad. Could you confirm?
- crazygringo 2y agoIt completely blocks it. But you have to change the toggle from basic filtering mode to complete filtering mode. I think some people just haven't realized that.
