YouTube stopped working on Firefox with uBlock for me.

Ublock dashboard, filter lists, purge cache and update. Should work

I'm back this worked! Thank you!
Commenting on this so I can try it tomorrow
- there is a save button, i use it for stuff i intend to come back later
Ok I should try doing this.

watched a free movie on yt for the first time in a couple months last thursday. i knew about the new war on adblockers, so i had updated ublock origin's filter list cache first.

worked fine no ads, even got 1080p, which i rarely ever see for the 'legit' mainstream tv shows and movies they have.

even got 1080p

What's up with that by the way? I constantly watch videos in 720p that advertise 4K in the title.
- I think they will offer higher bitrates if you use chrome instead of firefox
- Can you choose 4K from the little gear icon in the bottom right corner of the player?
  
  Not trying to defend YouTube, but I think they align video quality to network speed so you can watch without buffering.

Purge your filters and redownload. It's a problem on your end.

Works like a charm.

Still working for me. The second it stops I'm out of there.

I installed freetube in preparation of this, haven't used youtube itself all week either freetube or invidious and both work well for now, would recommend both if you're open to them

I've been doing the same! Freetube works quite well

Go to "Filter Lists" and Purge All Caches. That may help.

I did that and it worked! Thank you!!!
- np

Mine is working fine but Sabine Hossenfelder made a pro-capitalism video that ignores the deterioration of the global market in the 20th century. Can someone send her a bugfix?

Sir this a is a community about firefox
- That part is working. Yes. Good job!
Is the deterioration of the global market not mainly a result of neglecting to keep monopolies in check and provide adequate regulation?
- Is the deterioration of the global market not mainly a result of neglecting to keep monopolies in check and provide adequate regulation?
  
  As Marx points out in Das Kapital it's not possible to keep monopolies in check and provide adequate regulation since they will find a way to capture the government and its regulatory agencies, so that they work for the capitalists and not the public. So what Hossenfelder failed to acknowledge is that no civilization knows how to defend its regulatory agencies from elite influence. It also fails to address matters like the uneven distribution of wealth, which leads to failure of the state and a whole lot of violence.
  
  And that deterioration of the global market was well underway at the time that capitalism drove the development of penicillin. Capitalist interests also drove the triggers of WWI, the overreach of the Treaty of Versailles and the consequential rise of the German Reich. And, capitalist interests figured largely in the advancement of the holocaust from concentration camps and a deportation policy to an annihilation policy and the genocide machine. ( Behind the Bastards podcast recently released a two-parter on Reinhard Heydrich, the lynchpin official who developed the whole process, worth a listen!) so as capitalism drove penicillin development to save fallen soldiers from infection, it also facilitated the driving motivations for conquest and belligerence, hence the war itself that shot those soldiers up in the first place.
  
  And when I watch Hossenfelder's videos, usually I can count on her to be more thorough than she was regarding the failures of a system, but it's not the first time her biases have informed her content.
- No, it's because of the ever-growing disparity in wealth.
  
  As wealth becomes more concentrated, more people are incentivized to serve those with excess wealth than those without.
  
  This is all by design.
Using adblock is like sending people to death camps. You're literally worse than Hitler to the ads.

Still works for me on mobile and desktop.

Use invidious

Google also rate limiting some Invidious instances.
- I haven't had an issue. Anyway if you have a problem you can switch instances

Holy shit you scared me, everything works for me on librewolf

I'm using these. YouTube still works, but I haven't used the 'Home' tab since the nag screen about turning watch history on. I won't. My subs still work fine. I'm in the process of manually building my list in https://freetubeapp.io/ (can't get the import to work)

I'd ditch AdBlock Plus. uBlock origin is better in every regard and there's no acceptable ads bullshit:

https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads#what-are-those
- I would also remove DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. It is redundant if you are using uBlock Origin.

I use Librewolf (Firefox fork with enabled protections against trackers and spyware) with uBlock origin. And I had no issues so far with youtube.

P.S. Also, couldn't remember the last time I saw "please turn off adblock" nagging on random websites... or an ad...

Still working for me. I'm wondering if it's a staggered rollout on YouTube's end. Have you had any luck in getting this working again?

Still working for me. Only change I noticed is that the edges of the video player are rounded now.

I use freetube

Does it have a function to import your current subscriptions?
- Yes, you can download your google data, and import the subscriptions. You don't need an account and sponsorblock is also available.

Same for me with uBlock Origin, until I have updated to version 1.51.0

Stopped working yesterday now I just find what I want to watch and watch it on piped. It's a little more annoying but less annoying than the endless ads every few minutes

Purging the filters of uBlock worked for me, maybe it'll help you too. But I was using piped too.
I was gonna say youtube-dl is still an option, too.

Samet thing happened to me thsn got fixed by itself, I switched to piped tho in case they win the war on adblock

Carefull tho piped is getting blocked by youtube

Same, a few weeks ago already. Switched to freetube back then.

Works fine on desktop here, on mobile I just use Newpipe

It should be illegal to interfere with a user experience outside of delivering it to them.

Had the same problem with my Firefox and uBlock Origin install. Had to purge and update the filter lists in uBlock Origin and after that Youtube was working again.
