uBlock Origin VS YouTube's Anti-Adblock - eviltoast

I came across the stickied weekly thread at uBlock Origin’s sub-Reddit. WARNING: It’s a long and complicated read.

The TL;DR takeaway is thus (especially for those who use Firefox):

  1. Click the uBlock Origin icon on Firefox’s menu bar
  2. You’ll see a three-gear icon at the bottom right. Click this to open the dashboard.
  3. Click the “Purge all caches” button at the top.
  4. Click the “Update now” button at the top.

Note: You may have to do this several times per day since YouTube keeps changing their anti-adblock scripts. However, the diligent work, from all the volunteers at uBlock Origin, have been able to keep pace. I haven’t seen any ads NOR any anti-adblock warnings in the past 48 hours.

    Thank you for keeping on top of this Chris. I’m having a heavy week at work and I’ve not kept up with what’s working and what isn’t so your updates have been invaluable.

    When I’ve got some days off I’m probably going to spin up a viewtube or invidious instance on either my home server or VPS and have done with it!
