What ad-blocker browser extensions currently work to block Youtube ads?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Couldn't you just run a pi-hole? Is that still a thing?

I run a pi-hole. It didn't stop YouTube catching uBlock Origin yesterday.

Fortunately, there are instructions on how to get around it in the uBlock github.

Go to Ublock settings --> Filter lists --> Built in (expand)
Uncheck the check box for Quick fixes and apply the change.

Everything was back to normal for me.
 
Whenever YouTube does this new push to punish anyone wanting to protect themselves from invasive ads and spyware, it's always hilarious.

I just imagine the stinky Indians spending months attempting to come up with a working solution only to have their hard work fucked by a single uBlock filter list that is updated within an hour of your new code going live.

YouTube would rather have people with adblockers than a dying site. They will always back down. I began archiving every YouTube video I liked about two years ago because I know the day where they memory hole 50% of their platform content is coming.
