YouTube is getting serious about blocking ad blockers::YouTube is cracking down on ad blockers. In a statement to The Verge, YouTube’s Christopher Lawton says the company has launched a “global effort” to urge people to allow ads on the platform.
Dude, I’ve been using Ublock for years and this last month I had to update 4 times tops, it works just fine.
On my tv I just downloaded smart tube and I’m also ad-free.
On my phone ublock didn’t even need updating.
Did you read the article? Specifically the part about how YouTube are selectively rolling out the warnings and how not all users are affected? I’m trying to not be pissy but you lot are infuriating.
I have gotten the warnings and got rid of them, Google is updating their script every so often but the ublock devs update the filters pretty quickly.
You’ll get the warning in between these updates but that’s it.
Could you do me a favor and inform my browser of that so it only shows me a warning tonight? I could deal with a warning instead of the blockade that stops any content from loading.
Just follow the steps the devs listed on their reddit post, that should work.
To avoid any miscommunication can you please link the post and then I will confirm if those are the steps that I have already been applying
