Where is YouTube ReVanced?
Not mentioned, on purpose 🤫
Just use a proper ad-blocker like uBlock Origin in combination with a browser like Firefox or LibreWolf that supports proper ad-blocking extension. Fuck this Chromium garbage that deprecated MV2 because Google is scared of adblockers. Don’t support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines and use Firefox or something even better like LibreWolf.
I wish I could donate to ublock origin so badly. I never even saw the popup.
Ya know, I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding Elon Musk spam in this community, and calls to “ban” them, yet every week we get gloom and doom posts like this when some new subset of the world starts seeing this shit. I’d really like to see a pinned message about the fix, which is…
- Install Firefox or a derivative, and add the uBlock Origin extension.
If you visit YouTube and see the pop-up, the page isn’t loading the video content, or it just seems to be acting strange, do the following:
- Click on the uBlock Origin brown shield in your extensions.
- Click the three little gears icon to enter the settings.
- Make sure you’re in the Filter lists section from the top and click the Purge all caches button below it.
- Click the Update now button.
- Wait until the filter update completes.
- Refresh the tab(s) that YouTube is in.
- Press play.
I literally have no other installed add-ons for ad blocking, anymore. Only uBlock Origin. Any time I see the message or YouTube starts acting up, I just repeat those 7 steps above for any YouTube tab that was already open, and viola, the video plays. It has simplified so many issues for me and reduced the number of adblock extensions I need to run.
I definitely plan on donating this holiday season to their team, probably the biggest share of the pie between the FOSS apps I enjoy and appreciate. Should uBlock Origin ever fail, I’ll just stop going to YouTube.
The element picker and disable JS button are also a life saver. Gets around so many shitty things about the modern web. The one thing I agree with from Brave (Firefox all the way though) is including uBlock by default (I just wish they gave credit).
Why not LibreWolf, a privacy oriented browser that ships with the real uBlock Origin? ;)
wdym with the rral ublock origin? 👀👀
Because Brave ships with a very limited ad blocker that is not uBlock Origin
Nope. FF with UBO still works perfectly.
No, they most certainly are not.
It isn’t blocking my uBlock Origin on Firefox.
Ublock Origin on firefox still work for me no filter
I got fed up with this shit and invested a bit of time into getting a working Premium Family plan through a cheap country (Ukraine is about $4 per month). I invited my whole family (parents included) so essentially 6 people have an ad-free YouTube now for less than $1 each (per month). I assume that’s still less than what they have gotten by serving us a shit ton of ads. And I am rid of that cat and mouse game for a while.
Love how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.
Should we start legitimizing garbage?
Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.
Lol
Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao
Oh look! This shit again. Lemmy is becoming more repetitive than 4chan
