I unfortunately have a youtube addiction but I have canceled my subscription and will be using proper adblocking at home and alternatives like piped on mobile.

I've started transitioning to Odysee. It's like YT but less evil.

For now I didn't see anything on Firefox and Librewolf, but who knows how long that can go on. I guess I have to just wait and see.

...and get used to Invidious in the meanwhile.

This should work for Librewolf too shouldn’t it?

Are there any ad blockers that currently support blocking the popup?

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin still works fine. You just need to make sure you're following these instructions

Am I the only one who thinks "Allowlisted" is a seriously stupid term? Why, pray tell, can't we use name of a colour anymore?

And no, I won't Caucasianlist YouTube, ever.

Some chrome user problems 😏

[–] twena@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's not chrome-specific unfortunately

Open the extension settings, purge the filter lists and then update them all. I was getting warnings and I did this, and I haven't had any further warnings.

Not exactly an original opinion but I hate this. I watch ads on my Roku app, I watch them on the mobile app, can't they just let it go on web browser? This just wreaks of greed

Yeah same. Idk why I've got ublock setup, tried resetting the filter cache, reinstalled unlock (idk if that helps but had to try) and I still get these.
