Looks like YouTube is completely dead for me now in Firefox. I'm not banned - I can view videos on my phone without logging out, and mousing over a thumbnail still shows the slideshow - but all videos now have a run time of 0:00 in the player.

Firefox nightly seems to glitch out for me as well. Luckily the piped.video app on Android seems to work perfectly and you don't have to patch it like revanced.

Think I've been using Firefox since ~2005 too and have generally enjoyed my time with it with no real complaints. I tried Chrome several years ago and gasped when I saw how many resources it hogged. Never used it again.

This happened to me first when I used the element picker in uBlock to remove the dumb popup, and then again when I used a tampermonkey script to basically do the same thing and block all in-window popups on YouTube. In my case it wanted me to click something I could no longer see to start the video, i.e. the warning that I was on thin ice and needed to start watching ads again (lol).

You can't even temporarily turn off ublockorigin and put up with the ads on youtube; You literally can't have it installed as an extension. gently caress you chrome, gently caress you google, gently caress you youtube, I hope dailymotion buries you

I was able to log in and watch YouTube without ads and without adding anything to the browser but I didn't want to suggest it because I'm pretty sure I read that didn't work for others. I am still blocked from watching videos on Chrome

And I'm still saying why the hell would you not have one that works for all of the internet except YouTube? I really don't see how you can bear with an ad-filled internet but on the other hand it's good that someone's looking at the ads so they're still convinced it's worthwhile, and I don't have to.

I'm not a bootlicker  I'm not saying you shouldn't use them, or that you're stealing money from starving CEOs. I just can't be assed to wrestle with extensions and hop browsers every other week.

I think this is the first time I've had to think about my ad blocker in ~5 years, and (for me) it's stopped being a problem again already.

You'll waste more of your time watching ads in like an hour on YouTube than it would take you to switch to Firefox and import your Chrome settings

Guess you gotta get your laughs in at some point since you don't get much show time.

if i hadn't been using adblockers for the past 15 years i don't know if i would watch anywhere near as much youtube as i have cos those 30-60 seconds of ads i've occasionally been seeing lately is more than enough for me to stop and think wait, maybe there's something better to do than watch this video

I guess I'm kind of inbetween. I tolerate ads on my phone because the app is simply too convenient but I would never use the general internet on my computer without an adblocker and that includes YouTube. Even without this new war on adblockers, I would consider buying the no-adds subscription for YouTube if it was more reasonably priced. Like, $8-$10 or something.

I'm still having 0 problems with this and its either because: 1) I'm in Canada 2) I also have a chromecast which I didn't pihole and so every now and again if I queue something to the TV directly I do actually see ads, even though all my PC browsers have adblock Can anyone confirm either theory

The ads are fine. I get to keep up with the social discourse. And if it's a repeat I mute the sound and meditate a little bit. It's been mostly beneficial for me.

Anyone you see itt complaining about 3 strikes or ads sneaking through have been sentenced to advertising. Don't feel too bad, most likely they got sentenced for tying someone to railroad tracks, or trying to rob a train, or other train based crimes.

I'm gratified when I see a new novel ad. They bring awareness to new products and sometimes it's something I need. So I appreciate that. On a repeat though I'm fine mentally tuning out and remaining calm. I think it makes me a better person in the long run.
