doublepepperoni [none/use name]Ublock users who got hit by Youtube's anti-adblock effort- how's your experience been?
theshatterstone54I’m so confused on how rollout happens. Is it random? I’m in a first world country (not the USA), using Firefox and Ublock Origin and have never experienced the popups. I use YouTube daily, often watching 10+ bideos a day, and have never seen an ad or the popup.I have also never done anything to update my extensions or purge the cache as you mentioned. I’ve just had 0 issues. On mobile, I use Newpipe (BraveNewPipe, a fork with sponsorblock) and once again, 0 issues.

Oh, they don't block bideos, just videos.
I also use firefox + ublock origin with zero issues on desktop and also on mobile.
Haha, fixed. It’s interesting to see I’m not the only one.
So far the pattern I have seen is users who do a lot of extra filtering with UO are the ones that run into the issues, but us lazy peeps who stick with defaults are sailing clear.
The only custom thing I have done in UO is filter out posts in kbin/lemmy that have certain annoying politicians in the titles. I see them enough on regular news sites.
Interesting. I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a normie (I use Arch and a Custom ROM, btw) but I’ve never tinkered with Ublock’s extra features, so it seems that you’re right.
I have enabled multiple lists that aren’t default, have years worth of custom filters, run in medium mode and I have never seen a single warning on YouTube. Maybe none of the stuff I’ve configured is YouTube related.
I’m in this boat as well. I’d just kind of assumed I wasn’t getting ads because I never log in to YouTube, but it’s sounding like that’s not the case.
