Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work - Lemmy

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

Yep. 2nd part is important.

The way I solved this was to leave my regular browser setup alone, make a new Firefox profile just for YouTube, and create a shortcut to that profile on my desktop.

Now I only use that profile for YouTube. I haven’t seen one ad since this thing started.

I did the same for Facebook
Firefox has profiles?

Always has been.

See about:profiles and the –profile ${directory} switch.

I used AdGuard and never seen it, even when they rolled it out.
Huh I still have these addons active, and it still works with pihole, ublock and Firefox …
these privacy extensions all overlap anyway.
