Youtube adblock blocking

I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated

Its not debated. Its bullshit.

flat earthers existing doesnt put the earth's sensual curves up for debate either.

Google must be fucking salivating at the prospect of manifest v3 going live and adblockers being gimped.

I wish more people would switch to Firefox.

ReVanced and Newpipe on mobile, SmartTube on TV, uBlock origin on Vivaldi and LibreWolf (currently in the middle of switching).

Seen nothing on any of those. They're all working flawlessly, for now.

If you use uBlock origin you would never see it. I use both PiHole + uBlock origin and I would never see it lmao.

Youtube's ad policy is abusive, and online ads are not always safe. Regardless of whether adblocking is legal or fair to Youtube, not doing so puts you at greater risk of malware insertion so is a necessary safety precaution.

As YouTube profits from your engagement through more than ads, YouTube still benefits even when you watch videos without ads.

It boggles my mind about but people are upset about blocking ads in a piracy group. Chill out everyone!!

I haven't seen it because I haven't used the default front-end in years :D

From my understanding it has only been rolled out to Chrome users so far. Anyone using adblocks with Firefox will not have seen these yet.

However to ensure you don't, I suggest beginning your transition to some of the alternatives. I have been migrating to Piped which is essentially a scraper.

We need to block the adblock blockers...

I don't even use browser to watch youtube vids anymore. Freetube -> mpv with sponsorblock plugin.

I use Firefox with ublock origin and haven't seen it yet.

OP do you perhaps use a non-Chromium based browser? Because their adblock blocking is only active on Chromium based browsers.

no. never seen (yet). and using adblock is perfectly fine.

Brave Browser works great

I use New Pipe on my phone, I also use ublock origin on Mozilla Firefox, but recently I've been watching more using mpv, don't know if they can do something about it

I use Adblock Plus on my desktop, and I have not had the message yet.

I use it on iOS with uYou+ and I haven’t seen it, I also used Video Lite’s Adblock as well as on Safari with normal ublock and haven’t seen it either. Maybe it’s not on mobile yet

I just received an ad around ublock origin and that's the first time that's happened ever.

Not sure what to do. Either I'll give in and watch/listen to ads, try another block method until it stops working, stop using youtube altogether, or back further away from corporate internet.

use Odysee or Peertube /s

Adblock is piracy!

Just use Pided (https://piped.video), Invidious, Freetube or something else.

Youtube website is just trash bloated with JavaScript and trackers.
