What's a good adblocker that works for Youtube?

[KMFJD]

I'm using ublock and not seeing this, i've had the occasional video fail to start a couple of days ago but it seems to have resolved itself.

Well... ads are kind of important to them. They have millions of daily users, the question is how do you extract money out of them? Facebook went the same way.

Whack-a-Rat anyone?

Seems ublock no longer works for youtube. They found a way to circumvent it and you now get unskippable 3 minute ads on some videos.

What is the goto ad blocker now days?

uBlock Origin still works perfectly fine for me on YouTube.

It's only recent that I started seeing ads through it. I googled and it seems others are reporting the same thing. It seems that if they detect an ad blocker, they occasionally throw in a several minute ad that somehow bypasses the ad blocker, that is unskippable. It's very random though. Maybe only like 1 in 10 videos do it.

So far have not seen any through Adblock but still early. I do get the odd video that won't start but that's been happening for a while. Need to hit refresh a bunch of times and play/stop and fiddle around with it and eventually it starts.

Really I'm actually surprised the ads arn't embedded right in the video stream. That would be pretty much impossible to block. At that point it will be easier to just use a download extension and pre-download a bunch of videos then you can skip the commercials offline.

I use the combination of uBlock Origin, Ghostery and Javascript Popup Blocker. This kills pretty much all adds.

After switching to Adblock for Youtube for more than 24 hours, not a single ad showed up in Youtube!

Yeah I was wondering what that was about, been seeing that a lot.

Youtube is such trash now and they keep making it worse, wish there was an alternate site that had the same amount of content.

They played it perfectly. For so long it was easy to use with no in-video ads so it was the go-to source for uploading, sharing and watching videos. After they had the market they slowing introduced ads and now they have us right where they want us. Brilliant bastards

Just get a router that supports Tomato firmware. It has a built-in Adblock that has been working great for me especially with IOS devices.

They are now delaying loading some videos if you have adblock. It's intermittent.

Bastards. I wants my free stuffz.
