Ad blocking
Subreddit dedicated to the news and discussions about the creation and use of technology and its surrounding issues.
Why YSK: To not waste time on advertisements
As you probably know youtube has a new method to "detect" the usage of adblockers. And since everyone wants to waste their time on videos and not on advertisements, follow these steps to go around youtube's new method and use adblocker.
Step 1: Turn off all browser extensions (which are related to adblocking and/or youtube) and remove (or disable) any ad blockers. After that restart your browser.
Step 2: Install the browser extension ublock origin.
Step 3: Go to ublock settings interface
Step 4: Click on the tab "My Filters"
Step 5: Copy and paste the following code and save the changes.
youtube.com##+js(set,yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
Step 6: Restart your browser and enjoy ad free youtube.
Extra notes:
If this doesn't work try the following:
Uninstall ublock and reinstall.Check for interfering extensions (youtube enhancers / adblockers)Empty cache
Enjoy :)

The only way YouTube will be able to ban ad blockers permanently is via a kernel level detection similar to how anti cheats work in video games. Even with that level of access, there are still ways to get around hardware level bans.
YouTube can try as hard as they want, but unless they have something with higher privilege on your machine(phone, tablet, desktop, laptop etc.) than your browser, there's no way to truly ban ad blockers.
The web has some really bad security design and I think the way the internet was designed with the http/s protocols, it really puts the cards in the favor of the people who actively run ad block software.
I highly highly doubt this war on ad block will be at all effective, all it's doing it annoying its users which pushes us further into developing patches and bypasses to prevent ads.
When companies rolled out the "no ads" and "offline listening" features.. I thought it was pretty silly because we can already do both of those things for free... and a lot of people obviously understand that which means less money for YouTube, but is that our fault?
Google needs to figure out better ways to make money that doesn't include putting standard features like background listening behind a paywall.

Self explanatory really........
I get the side of a YouTuber, totally fine about earning money from creative content but when it's Ads that can lead to scam sites and Malware to steal info......
Not Good.......
Seems Google needs to step up their game when it comes to Third party links that link to a Ad banner........especially if there wanting to disable ad blockers -raises fist in the air half mast because you can't tell users how to be on the Internet without having be a hypocrite yourselves.....
Facebook is swamped atm with Fake account pretending to be legit companies - ie Smyth's toy store UK or ASDA All leading upto Black Friday and Christmas Deals........
Stay Crunchy out there.... ;)

Hey everyone, It has been a very eventful past couple weeks as the new initiative from YouTube has rolled out to wider and wider audiences globally. This new change has instituted blocking people from using ad blockers on most browsers.
We have freely allowed discussion of this topic to be posted all over the sub for a couple weeks now, and it has reached the home page f many hundreds of thousands of reddit users. At this point, there is not much else that can be said ,and the community has resorted to mostly beating a dead horse and making jokes. This is fine, however there are some downsides that have come from this.
New topics aren't allowed to emerge or be discussed since this has overshadowed everything, and also posts asking for assistance or help have been drown out.
Starting right now, I will Lock all existing posts about the AdBlock topic. We will be removing any new posts about the ad blocking topic. All other posts are allowed as long as they follow the general rules.
This thread is the only place going forward (until it is no longer stickied) where you can discuss the topic. We will also continue to remove any comments of people being toxic or rude toward each other in the comments. please stay civil.
Reminder: This Subreddit is not Owned, Operated, Controlled, or ran in participation with YouTube or google. The mods are all volunteers. It never has been in YouTube's control, and never will be. You are free to criticize YouTube, just don't target or threaten individual people. Keep your comments about the organization itself. Death threats will be removed, banned, and reported.
Reminder 2: We are removing comments from people that are spamming links to alt websites and random extensions. A lot of these links are to malicious programs trying to take advantage of kids that don't know better. You can talk about these alternatives, just don't link to them.

Turns out if you have Youtube Enhancer with the ad block option on (default behavior) it will override uBlock Origin which makes the remove adblocker message pop up. Likewise, other ad blockers make the message pop up so disable them too.
However, there are some exceptions. Sometimes uBlock Origin stops updating on an individual's computer for whatever reason, so you have to manually update to the newest version of the plugin, and refresh lists by going into the settings, click Filter Lists -> Purge All Caches -> Update Now. Then restart the browser.
A lot of people in the last 24 hours were getting the youtube ad block message even with uBlock Origin on because youtube switched its popup source code, uBlock Origin updated to address it within an hour, but the program can take days to update sources, which is where the manual refresh instructions help.
If you're still having trouble you can report your issue to the devs directly here: Devs tend to respond within the hour fixing the issue. (If you're reading this from the future find the most up to date youtube thread on or on github.)
Enjoy!
edit: Here's a few more things that can help.
-
If Youtube is still hassling you on uBlock Origin even after refreshing lists and rebooting the browser, remember to write to the devs! They can't fix it if you don't.
-
While waiting for the devs you can enable uBlock in incognito / private browsing, then right mouse click on the video and play using an incognito window, which bypasses the ad blocking and the anti ad blocking message. Normal browsing works.
-
If the devs don't get back to you and a day has passed with issues and you're getting tired of right mouse clicking, this Tampermonkey script is guaranteed to work because it is undetectable by Youtube:
(Alternative Tampermonkey script that doesn't work as well: )
Once you've installed the script you'll have to disable all adblockers on youtube.com (Click the big power button logo on uBlock when on youtube.com which will turn it off for just youtube.com.) This will get rid of the youtube anti adblocker messages and you'll be able to continue watching without issue.
But please! Report to the devs first!!
