- viftodi 11mo agoGoogle does A/B testing for anti ad blockers. Not only do I get slowdowns and some videos don't load at all at times, but I also get a notification that explains that the reason is using adblockers.
- oldestofsports 11mo agoHere I am, totally given up on adblockers, and no way I’m paying for premium, but jesus christ the amount of ads I get, sometimes seems to be one every minute, making most videos unwatchable. Though it’s mostly good for my addiction since it makes me use youtube less.
- o11c 11mo agoRecently I've found Youtube to just show a white screen if it detects Firefox+uBO.
- Ohmec 11mo agoThere's probably scripts you can add to your ubo to combat this.
- tedivm 11mo agoFor the last two days I haven't been able to watch youtube videos on Firefox without disabling uBlock.
- mltsd 11mo agoI've disabled adblock/vpn and can watch maybe 1-2 videos before the video player starts blacking out on each one. Only restarting firefox "resets" it and I haven't been able to find a reason for this happening. Time for yt-dlp I guess
- a96 11mo agoI disable youtube instead when this happens.
- tedivm 11mo agoIf I care enough I'll yl-dlp it to my jellyfin server, but yeah I mostly just don't bother.
- xenophonf 11mo agoI had the same problem. Make sure you're running the latest version of uBlock Origin. By that I mean you should explicitly check for updates and install the latest version. That fixed it for me.
