TIL: YouTube blocks adblockers
Yes, I also saw the popup today. Youtube trying to block me because of ublock origin. I will move away from youtube if I can't use ad blocker anymore.
Update ublock definitions and disable any other plug-ins that might interfere. Firefox only from what I've heard
I do use Firefox always with uBlock Origin.
Perhaps the EU will block youtube from blocking ad blockers... https://eupolicy.social/@thatprivacyguy/111261130799704016
If I can’t avoid the ads at least a bit, we’re going to have to part ways. I find the default experience unbearable. Since I watch YouTube mostly for entertainment, I can just go and entertain myself somewhere else.
Most of my favorite YouTubers seem to be cultivating a dual-platform strategy with a modestly priced pay site, so that’s likely where I will end up.
