Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'm just waiting for the day DRM comes to other ad-riddled websites...

I usually watch YouTube on a laptop hooked up to my tv, so I downloaded freetube and just imported my subscriptions. It's got sponsorblock and other features built in, but you can't like or comment on videos. Overall though I've been using it for about 6 months now and wouldn't dream of going back to YouTube and trying to constantly deal with them fucking it up more daily.

Are you using chrome or Firefox?

inconvenient but cobalt.tools

I've been using ProtonVPN on my router with adblock and antimalware features enabled, and uBlock on Firefox and I've never encountered a problem when I click on YouTube links.

I normally use invidious anyway.

I use Piped + LibreTube, and I self-host Piped to get better and more consistent load times. Works very well, only minor issues every now and then.

Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed

Yeah also on firefox

Did you delete Google and Youtube cookies when you reloaded the UBlock stuff? That's a necessary step.

AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)

Like the majority I am using Ublock and Firefox, but I've noticed over the last month it is very slow to catch up to YouTube ads and I'm seeing them make it through a lot more often.

i'm using safari on macOS, and i've had pretty good luck with Ad Guard Pro. when i get the adblock warning, i switch my user agent. when that doesn't work, deleting my cookies usually does the trick.

I have to log out, clear cookies, update/clear block lists, then log back in.

Is this an American thing? Haven't had any issues with this in the EU

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

There are other plugins that get flagged like some if the YT Premium features (cant remember the exact name)

Ublock/adnauseum work fine after uninstalling that stuff

Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.
