Revisiting YouTube's Anti-Ad blocker Message (beehaw.org)

The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

Please pardon the n00b question: I've installed the libredirect extension in my LibreWolf browser, and have installed the Freetuube app for Windows, but I'm still lost on how to get libredirect to point YT to Freetube?

Go to libredirect settings>youtube>set frontend to freetube

It's a bit funky at first, but it works really well.

No worries! So when you enable YouTube and click on it, there is a section near the bottom where you can point it at an executable.

I'm on my phone now but when I get home I'll try to remember to take and post a screenie
