Hit by Youtube's AdBlocker detection. Help needed.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Is there a way to block embedded YouTube from appearing on other sites (in Firefox)?

This will make them load only after clicking the box, or you can remove the ,redirect=click2load.html part if you don't want to see them.
Code: 
||youtube.com^$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html
||youtube-nocookie.com^$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html
You can test to make sure it works by visiting the What are you listening to thread, plenty of youtube embeds there.

edit:
Just realized I should be more clear. Add those filters to uBlock origin. Settings > My filters

Has anyone tried this?.....


It works by playing the ads way faster than the normal speed, then skipping them automatically as early as possible, so supposedly, the average interruption time is only around 50ms, which is nothing. As the ads are not actually being blocked, YouTube's detection methods don't get triggered.

It's available for Chrome and Firefox. If you try it, make sure you disable any other ad-blocker on YouTube.

Oh I forgot to add few points to dodge the adblocker. Wear your proxy condom at every visit, set browsers to delete everything after closing.

Proxies confuse and break the ad block reminder.

Lastly for love of god do not use Chrome, it's programmed to sync with YouTube. Avoid vanilla firefox too.

As for phonefags, do not log in to Google, ever, use reliable VPN of your choice, use brave in private browsing to prevent Google saving anything on your session.

thanks but it didn't work for some reason

(can still see previews and the YT logos)

ETA: It's not saving. I paste the script and then the script vanishes, even if I click "Apply Changes".

Why is that?

Also if I'm signed into Google in non-private, does that not apply in private browsing where there's a different set of cookies?

Or a different version of Fierfox running at the same time?

I'm unsure what would cause that behavior, I use firefox and haven't come across that problem before. You might want to try reinstalling the ublock extension and try again.

The thing about vanilla firefox is that it needs a little tweaking to improve privacy/security. A popular method is arkenfox user.js. It takes a little time and lots of autism.

Could you clarify the second part of your question about private browsing?
 
ToroidalBoat said:
If I'm logged into Google in non-private browsing, I won't automatically also be so in private browsing.
Click to expand...
Correct. All of the cookies in the private browsing mode are separated from the ones in your regular profile. There is also the option to use containers to keep cookies between containers separated.

A glance into about config is filled with lines that you can't change, Google integration, Google page safety, White listed ads and blacklisted add ons (For example extension ad hominem gives ads fake clicks, but nothing is bought or subscribed many sites get pay per click ads. I used to run a script that gave fake clicks worth hundreds of thousands. Keep in mind companies do not advertise themselves directly, but use middle men and individuals. When ads are clicked en masse, middle men get paid on agreed sum. However in case of fake clicks the third party has to pay back to the company or people to display ads. 8chan /biz/ lost their shit when those MLM companies asked thousands back from anons), working with ADL to stop hate speech by scanning through user browsing habits and sending them back to the Devs, geolocation and much more. Vanilla Firefox is private as chrome. Which some Devs left to make brave)

Nah fuck that shit. They still get a foot by playing the ad. The line is drawn at no ads at all.

Word of warning following ad blockers are cucked and let ads through because companies paid them and they share data with Google.
Adblock plus
ublock
Adblock
And many other garden variety "privacy extensions"

Do you have literally any evidence for this?
Because I haven't found any other mention of uBlock tracking people. (Not sure about the others though) Their Privacy Policy straight up says that they don't collect data on you. uBO is also open source so if there is data collection going on I feel like somebody else would have caught it by now.

uBlock and uBlock Origin aren't the same thing.

uBlock was created by Raymond Hill who handed it over to another guy about 8 or 9 years ago. Hill then created a fork, which he called uBlock Origin and continued development on it, separate from the original uBlock.

uBlock was sold to AdBlock a few years ago, and after that it was updated to allow certain ads through if a company pays a fee. That can be disabled though. uBlock Origin has never allowed any ads through for a fee, and still has Raymond Hill as its primary dev.

I ended up trying this and it works really well. The only time I've seen an ad, it's just like a fraction of a second blip. Obviously not as good as having the ads blocked completely, but a good fall-back option IMO.

The only real downside for me is that you have to disable all other adblockers on YouTube, and I use uBlock Origin to block a bunch of things on YouTube aside from the regular video ads.

I think I'll continue using uBO primarily, but keep this installed, but disabled, as a back-up.

Would waterfox, librewolf, or hardened firefox be a good alternative? I haven't used any of the three before, and I don't know how to tweak vanilla firefox (like with arkenfox js) aside from installing a few extensions like uBlock Origin, as mentioned by previous posters. They're apparently supposed to be more privacy-oriented than regular firefox.

I haven't gotten anything while using brave, but I want to keep my options open, since it is a chromium-based browser.

I'm relatively sure this was already in the works when the new CEO (Mohan) took over. Mohan and Wojcicki worked together very closely over about a decade or so, especially since he was the CPO of YouTube. Mohan also used to be heavily in the marketing sector (DoubleClick), as well as being responsible for some of the shittier decisions in YT (YouTube shorts, YouTube premium). You could say that the bulk of YouTube's slow decline-into-nosedive happened mostly because of him.

Iirc, YouTube was heavily unprofitable until the last year or two. Google got greedy, and its new "shake the sofa cushions" initiative (ie: what's going on now with ads) only worsened things.

You could try Thorium. It's a fork of chromium with all the privacy features of Brave without the bullshit crypto and VPN. I switched today and it's been pretty good.

I have uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile and I haven't had any warnings from YouTube pop up on that, my phone profile is not the same one I use for YouTube. But the same account got the pop ups and now is soft blocked on desktop if I don't update the Quick fixes in uBlock Origin, which I make sure to do when first go on for the day now.
