Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
I'm using this script (last time I used YT, didn't see any ads):

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
It isn't a downloader which should maintain the status of Don't ask and Don't tell. Adblocking is a different matter though. As I maintain one I can't be all hardnosed about em tho if you support a creator or site.. There is a whitelist feature that should at least get a token consideration.
As for AGGRESSIVE ad bullshit by an evil monopoly more powerful than most governments, well I can't say much against that either. Blocking things remains a different matter than stealing things or defrauding things with an autoclick simulator. Which this is BUT it is targeted at the skip function NOT generic or clicking ads them selves AND is in response to escilating tactics. So the reality and all the objective factors going into it leads me to conclude that in this case for these reasons that I do not have a big issue with this script.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
I noticed the last post in this thread is May.
Has everyone's adblockers started working?
I've been putting up with ads for a while now expecting a blocklist update to fix things. I finally started digging today to try to stop it since my PC is my only device that still gets YouTube ads.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
uBlock Origin (legacy) works for YouTube ads (and has for a very long time).

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
Thanks coffeebreak. That does seem to work. The settings page is a bit daunting compared to ABL and AB+, etc., but I'll take functional over simple any day.

That script worked for me and it goes better together with filterlist "Youtubeの広告をとにかくブロックするフィルタ"frmariam wrote: ↑2021-05-17, 22:06I'm using this script (last time I used YT, didn't see any ads):

I did some digging and here is what I have gathered so far...
These NEW ads that can't be blocked with ABPrime OR ABL are ads being served from Google's own video servers NOT from a third party. They are PART of the MSE Video Stream. Their player is increasingly becoming shit at catering to non-MSE enabled playback. For me personally, not being signed in has the youtube site LARGELY using the regular blockable method of video ad delivery but signed in it is obvious I am opted in to the new method.
tl;dr, I admit it.. UBO is the BEST and really ONLY option for blocking Youtube ads in a UXP application. Guess Gorhill and JustOff get the last laugh on this count. Maybe, one day, I will actually take UBO's engine and give it Adblock's UI then we will finally have a non-hostile UBO-capable adblocker that isn't total ASS to use.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
ABL nor ABPrime understand the following rules:
Nor can the ever because this type of script injection via adblock filters is dangerous as hell.. Adblock Plus got bit by this when they first did it. For now UBO is the only one that can do this safely. It would be better if, like I said in the other thread, if someone would adapt the existing userscript or create a new one for this so everyone can benefit. Perhaps a full on extension dedicated to it.

You can also use dl-dlp and download the video(s) you like.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
I use straightforward Chrome with Adblock Plus (the equivalent of Pale Moon's Adblock Latitude), and it works without issue.Moonchild wrote: ↑2021-05-16, 11:16For the record, I used Chredge and installed uBlock Origin on it to test the situation there and even there with all relevant filter lists enabled I was still getting the same interstitial ads on YouTube! So there's a lot more going on here than just an ABL or Pale Moon targeting issue.
I guess we need to add an option (5) to the options mentioned previously, which is: Pay Google to have YouTube Premium which they have been pushing hard along with their more aggressive advertising, which allegedly is stream-ad free.
Honestly if you "live on YT and can't do without it" it should be an option; you aren't exactly entitled to free services without ads, even from Google.
Paying Google to use YouTube Premium is completely out of the question. I'm not rich enough to be throwing £10 a month at companies just to stop intrusive adverts. This is also why I don't use the YouTube app on my phone or tablet!
It looks like YouTube with Adblock Latitude is working in Pale Moon... for now at least... will have to keep an eye on this.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
Well I have checked again and it seems like ABL doesn't work with YouTuybe, tried today and got 2x unskippable ads at the start of a video. ABL is supposed to block ads, like Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin, etc etc...
Back to Plan C for me, at least for Youtube.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
And if you had taken the time to read more than 2 posts in this thread you would know why this will happen. Heck I even sometimes get start of video ads on Edge with UbO and a shit ton of filters. Usually those unskippable ads are immediately followed by Google popping up a notification "hey don't like ads? try premium" So they just replace the video stream with ad stream stuff you can't skip now and then. And no adblocker will be perfect, even ones that hack the playlists.

To avoid this, you need to enable "suspendTabsUntilReady" (not necessary for XUL):

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
I've been using Invidious, an open source front-end to youtube, that along with uBO and some specific filter lists for youtube/google, has never allowed any ads to come through. I haven't ever tried Invidious without an adblocker and may natively not allow them. Just like moonbat said, filter lists: https://filterlists.com/ are the key. Using Greasemonkey with an Invidious redirect script found on Greasy Fork or OpenUserJS will send any youtube link to an instance automatically. I modify the script to always redirect to the multiple instances link you see below to choose from. Some instances of Invidious work better than others at different times. Happy New Year everyone.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
This is not an add-on solution, but a DNS Filter on my router still has been entirely effective for me to block ads on Youtube. The problem with Invidious is that I don't believe it gets any major development anymore, but it's just a bunch of other instances. Maybe I am wrong there.

Re: YouTube has apparently gotten around ABL
Returning PM user here. I have been using Basilisk and Vivaldi for the past few years - Vivaldi mostly as it suppresses YouTube's embedded video ads. With AdBlock Latitude installed in both browsers, PM29 has same behavior as Basilisk - both display YT ads. I hoped there was some way around it and came here for help. Thanks to Moonbat's comments, I installed uBlock and goodbye embedded video ads. Great!!AdderTude wrote: ↑2021-05-06, 17:18I started noticing this late last night, but it seems like Google has discovered a way around AdBlock Latitude 5.0.8 as YouTube now has ads at the start of every video I open despite having ABL active and up-to-date. Any suggestions on what I could do? Already tried removing and reinstalling the extension.
Now, I need to keep it working and see if all my "must have" extensions work in PM 29..
The UB Wiki implies that the lists are automatically managed. Is that correct? Default lists sufficient?
The UB author, Raymond Hill, seems to indicate that UB is effectively a superset of AB no need for both. Correct?
Is there anything that AB does that UB doesn't do?
