I ended up in the 3-strike zone on Firefox, and tried the methods up-thread to get around it and no dice. Thinking I would just suck it up and watch with ads seemed like an ok idea at first but my gods I've forgotten how bad they are. Probably a good excuse to get my time back and stop watching videos. Anything I really want ot watch I'll use yt-dlp until a solution rolls around.

Panic! At The Tesco posted:nah it looks they're just rolling out seemingly at random with different types of ad block blocking. i was the same (firefox and ublock origin) and hadn't seen anything until yesterday. now i get a pop up saying something like "adblockers are not allowed" and two choices like, "don't block ads" and "subscribe to premium". I'm on Firefox and uBlock and got the "3 strikes and you're out" warning followed by "that's it, you're done. No more videos unless you turn off the blocker." A few days of downloading the videos and watching them afterwards and it's back to normal with no ads or warnings or anything.

R.L. Stine posted:love 2 run scripts to download my subscribed videos constantly like a richard stallman rear end dinosaur, instead of purging my adblock cache and just using the website They wanted something to download youtube videos and that works well doing it. No idea why you responded like that, but you do you I guess.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Probably been mentioned but has anyone noticed random pop-up messages on YT with Firefox/Ublock where it says something like "experiencing delays/interruptions? find out why"? I saw a couple over the weekend right during times when videos would stutter for a second, guessing this is just YT doing annoying poo poo again because they can't control other companies' browsers/products. A few times over the last couple of weeks I've had Youtube videos just stopped downloading, so the buffer runs out and then I get that message. I heard a while ago that they were doing something like that on purpose for ad blockers, but no idea if that's true or not. So it's not just you, but for me once it starts it sticks around - it doesn't go away after a second or two. I refresh the page a few times and it seems ok.
