    Just update ublock origins sources. Go to the dashboard, filter lists, click “purge all caches” and then “update now.”

      There are other clever tricks. Ive tested this one working literaly today:

      https://github.com/TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing

      Install tampermonkey extension, which lets you install user scripts. Links are on the page. Install the user script that de-fucks youtube on that page. Counterintuitivly, whitelist YouTube in ublock origin. Make sure you arent running anything else that also adblocks, like “enhancer for YouTube.” If so, disable their adblock too.

      Install firefox for best results. Not for this, just in general.

        be careful with weird workarounds like this because as ublock finds ways to hide itself better you’ll only make yourself stand out and be a lot more detectable. and as you throw workaround on workaround they’ll eventually start conflicting in weird ways which will break things either subtly or very blatantly (which will result in you installing more weird workarounds to try to fix all this which will only make it worse)

        the best fix is really to:

        1. switch to latest firefox
        2. keep ublock origin and it’s filterlists updated
        3. do not stack any other blockers (including enhancer for youtube or privacy extensions or whatever)
          • the only exception i’d recommend is https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardExtra which is specially designed to not conflict with ad blockers like uBO, but even then don’t use it if things are working fine without it
        4. regularly clean up the weird workarounds you installed
          • or just don’t install them and wait for ubo to do it’s thing considering you’ll probably forget about this step

          The filter list trick from ublock stopped working already in this case. This “weird work around” is a single script that blocks ads on youtube only via a tampermokey (greasemonkey fork) script. It doesnt register as an adblocker to youtube, so as far as they know, you have “whitelisted” ads.

          It may indeed stop working at some point, but so may everything else. All warfare requires iteration, even something as tame as adblocking, so folk will iterate as always.

          What i can say is that it worked immediately without issue, where both the ublock refresh trick and quad9s dns over https filtering did not. Its a perfectly reasonable option if the more commonly recommended ones are not viable, as was my case.

        It amazes me the amount of effort people will put into not watching ads on an ad-supported platform.

    I occasionally get it on Firefox with ublock- usually I just have to update uBlock and it goes away for a while. Eventually they’ll give up, I’m sure.

    I’ve generally had good luck with requesting the mobile version of the site and that doesn’t show the blocker.
