it's funny how they also recently started to block all adblockers by not even loading videos at all just a day into US elections....
If your adblocker stops working on YT: Update your adblocker.
Yesss, uBlock 1.67 to fix this new issue
that would require me to update my browser, which I can't without updating my OS.
Windows XP forever!
That's even worse
I don't think windows 11 will work on my Pentium 3...
Any reason Linux isn't an option? My devices that I ran Windows on end up running Linux in the long run because its been easier on aging hardware.
Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is still fine.
You're right but I'm a LibreWolf guy myself. Firefox has been making too many shitty decisions (AI Integration things) for my liking.
uBlock works just fine for librewolf BTW.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in... I'll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I'll use an add-on.
I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn't sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.
I would argue that they did in fact "sneak" Perplexity address bar search into the brower just weeks ago.
You know- you do you, yadda yadda
When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)... I'd consider that as close to sneaking as one can.
With regard to the "switch" - that's what I thought too. I was mistaken. There's quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.
C'est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations... If it works - I'll use it. If it doesn't I'll find something else that does. If nothing else does... I'll go without. Hard pass.
I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.
The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.
It went from "We promise to never sell your data" to "Firefox is secure!" Just as they were adding AI.
It suure does work a charm.
FF doesnt have money, when google turned off the tap. i assume they are introducing AI now, because google wants that data for AI as well, they might have come to angreement that is not privy to the public.
Revanced and smart tube next
I will fight to my dieing breathe to help people deny alphabet any penny of ad revenue.
Ublock origin has been good and Freetube the best experience when it is working. And there's always switching VPN to Albania to not be shown ads.
Just had this problem today. Disabling the Ad Nauseam extension allowed videos to actually load, although now they all stop at the one minute mark. I can work around it, but I'll check to see if another extension is causing it when I have a chance.
Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they'll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.
I think I did, but I'll check again.
only twitch does that, but its expensive to do that for every video, thats why YT doesnt do it.
It was my Chrome mask extension. Seems to be working now.
well its not surprising, they said it during/right after 1/6 insurrection they would STOP BLOCKING ELECTION DENIAL content, this set up the precedence of all the AI RIGHT WING content we see on the site.
