Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit

To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date

Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

btw guys, ublock and youtube have been in an arms race for the past few weeks so circulating filter lists is pretty useless since youtube gets wise to each one in a matter of days. what you should actually do is remove all your custom filters related to youtube and then force update your filter list whenever you see the anti-adblock pop up again

#the filter lists that are going around will actually activate youtubes anti-adblock regardless of your other settings #whereas the ublock developers are updating the built in filters almost as fast as youtube is noticing them #ublock origin #youtube #adblock

hey update on YT folks; ublock has put out a guide to getting adblock to work on there again, which i only found out today bc YT failed to work with ublock running.

you can find their post >here<, i highly recommend following the link in the post to submit complaints to YT about violating a policy their parent company follows as well, as we'll be in a perpetual cycle of bullshit if we dont.

EDIT: 10/18

I'm turning off reblogs for this post as the info is outdated! Please refer to the post >>HERE<< for how to fix your ublock. Please note this is for firefox only, Chrome has already fucked over adblockers entirely.

If you just use uBlock Origin and don't layer random other adblockers or rules on top, you should be fine on YouTube. Adding special rules yourself or multiple blockers is just making trouble for yourself.

handy diagram guide to the uBlock vs Youtube situation

thought this might be useful, but mostly wanted to illustrate the sisyphean cycle we seem to be trapped in

uBlock Reddit thread :

(there's probably a new thread stickied at the top of the subreddit)

remember to follow all the instructions first! After that you will be trapped in the cycle above, but we're in it together! :)

Don't know how far this will reach but it's worth the effort: If your youtube on browser isn't working AND you use uBlock Origin (I'm on firefox specifically, unclear if this is happening on other browsers) try this from Downdetector user Bortus:

"click uBlock icon > Open the Dashboard button > Filter Lists > Purge all caches > Update now this should fix it"

It worked for me thankfully

it's fun to use ublock and firefox and torrent shit because whenever you see someone talk about "that ad that's everywhere" you've never heard if it

"the problem isn't that there's ads, its the length of them-" actually the problem is that there's ads at all. fuck being constantly manipulated into buying things. fuck capitalism and consumerism.

youtube is owned by one of the richest companies in the world, they don't need to have ads to stay afloat.

Get rid of the Tumblrstore "New" notification with uBlock Origin, a step-by-step guide by someone who tripped over the solution accidentally

Step 1: go to the Element Picker tool (looks like a colour picker tool from your favourite photo editing softwares).

Step 2: Hover over the new notification label - a little red box will appear around it. Click on the selected label.

Step 3: After clicking, this box will appear down the bottom of your screen with the selected element's related code. Click the "Create" button.

Step 4: Success!

Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin in Chrome in 2024 🤡

For anyone who has been struggling with Youtube's recent attempts to force you to disable or whitelist their site on your adblock extension, I have a simple guide to help. Google has been getting more more intrusive, and simple element picking hasn't been working to get past their ever-strengthening bulwark.

Thankfully uBlock Origin has been keeping pace with Youtube, and responds to them within the day. These uB updates to bypass the YT adblock blockers may not automatically apply, though. So, if you're on Firefox, use uBlock Origin, and have run into a new form of blocker on Youtube, follow thee steps:

1). Click on the uBlock icon.

2). Click on the clustered gear icon.

3). Under "Filter Lists," in the "Built-In" dropdown menu, click on the clock icon, and then click the now highlighted "Update Now" button on the top of the page to manually update uBlock's filters.

4). Refresh the page of the Youtube video you were about to watch and the blocker should disappear. If it doesn't, you may need to wait and repeat these steps. So far, I have yet to run into a blocker that could not be banished with a uBlock filter update.

I hope this helps! Fuck advertisers <3

unskippable youtube ads for horror movies should be outlawed holy crap. i don't care that 'think of the kids' is considered a meme, nobody should be forced to get bombarded with blood curdling screams and disturbing flashing images with no warning when trying to watch parks and rec clips wtf

PSA: Removing Buggy from your dash

If you see a floating Buggy the Clown in your dash, open your uBlock Origin and click the dropper icon in bottom left (element picker). Hover over Buggy, click that motherfucker and then choose "Create" to hide him.

Minor edit: Changed Element Zapper to Element Picker to make it permanent
