This is a big reason Google wanted to push the whole “web integrity” thing. There would have been no way to use an adblocker after that and they would have won the blocking wars. It’s bad enough they’re gimping Chromium with Manifest v3, but they tried for it all.

Welp They are still cooking it, for now only on android as to boil the frog slowly but it will come back.

Wait what are they doing on Android?

[–] hh93@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads

[–] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I actually had to get rid of adnauseam because YT detected it pretty consistently, ublock origin as of this comment still works fine on YT though.

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

From what I understand AdNauseum is built on top of uBlockOrigin so you supposed use it instead. The thing is that it isn't as frequently updated and due to recent YouTube wars this is currently required.

A miniscule amount of tomfoolery

uBO + iFrame script + Clickbait Remover + YouTube NonStop, the only way to clean up the YT crap and don't want to or can use a front-end or desktop client.

[–] newjunkcity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

Great suggestions.

I'd strongly recommend Dearrow instead of Clickbait remover now (I used to use Clickbait).

It's made by the same developer who made Sponsorblock, which I also strongly recommend (it skips over in-video sponsors, title sequences, non-music sections in music videos, etc.). Just remember to turn it off for channels whom you wish to support.

YouTube won't work with ublock on Vivaldi...

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Guess it time to switch to Firefox.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I can't. I use fairly PWAs regularly and Firefox is NOT great with them.

[–] 13617@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What is a PWA?

[–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Progressive Web Apps. Basically websites but with icons on your desktop or app launcher.

[–] SVcross@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Progressive Web Apps.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. I use Firefoxfor my braising but I install my PWAs under Samsung internet.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oof. Samsung Internet? Damn.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't use PWAs enough to warrant installing another browser for them.

[–] Smegh@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gotta disable Vivaldi's integrated Adblocker and use uBlock only, at least that's what fixed it for me.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Worked for me as well. Thanks!

I noticed that the Behind The Overlay extension in Firefox can also defeat the YouTube ad blocker pop up.
