So Youtube isnt letting me watch videos anymore, because it keeps detecting my adblock, even if it is desactivated. Someone knows any fix, without switching to another browser?

I temporarily switched to adguard, I’ll try ublock again later because I prefer it
Uninstall Chrome and use a browser with proper adblocking instead. Google has deliberately handicapped adblockers in Chrome with their latest framework version for extensions.
At least currently it’s still working on Firefox.
Install firefox
I thought it would be a hazzle. But firefox auto imports everything to make it very seamless.
Use Firefox; the ublock in Chrome is basically a light version. You can transfer your bookmarks from Chrome. Some websites only work with a Chromium-based web browser, but you can get around this with extensions such as Chrome Mask.
Try firefox with ublock – tends to have the same problem significantly less often.
I moved to Brave
It stopped working on Firefox for like half a day for me. I disabled then enabled it and it’s fine now
Use firefox instead.
>on Google Chrome
Nothing to do unless you change browsers.
Get a browser with proper adblock
Install Firefox and the uBlock extension
I have had Brave for almost five years and I very rarely see this. Maybe 3 times. Just have to update my browser and its gone
Firefox
r/uBlockOrigin
Use firefox.
Firefox
Use Edge browser
I have premium and YouTube on chrome was not loading videos worth a shit just because I had an Adblocker. Get off Chrome ASAP.
I will get downvoted for this, but I use Youtube Music for streaming so got premium for my music in the car and such. It also covers the ads on Youtube videos so basically I killed 2 birds with one stone there. Worth it for me, but Opera GX ad blocker still works for youtube it seems!
Remove chrome, install a normal browser that cares about privacy. I personally use brave with some tweaks (better scroll bar, thinner tabs, etc) and it’s pretty good. Firefox is an option too. Zen browser. Anything that either has its own AdBlock or doesn’t adhere to manifest V3 bullshit will do.
Stop using google chrome.
People will pay for premium spotify for the exact same price as youtube premium that comes with basically spotify, gets rid of ads and still gets your favorite creators paid but REFUSE to switch. Help me understand.
all these comments are so unhelpful. ‘How do I solve this on Chrome?’ ‘Don’t use Chrome’ unfortunately for me chrome has the best dev tools (Firefox’s are not great) and also my work enforces chrome for the extensions they use. So any suggestions there
Sorry had to ask, but wouldn’t it easier to just watch the ads or pay for YouTube premium? They do need to make a profit to pay their content creators
Glad to see lots of firefox comments here. I can confirm, I am not having this issue currently on Firefox.
I fixed it by moving to Firefox
Uninstall Chrome and install Brave instead.
You don’t need to use Firefox like the other comments say, you can just add a new filter rule to Ublock’s custom filter list. I’ve put it here https://pastebin.com/0tikT4NP
if your using the full version of uBlock Origin then update your list; if it is the the light version, then make sure the extension is updated and you have it set to the highest setting. If you are just using “uBlock” and not uBlock Origin, I recommend getting rid of that and going to an actual adblocker.
I’m sorry that comments are not helping, the top 5 comments all have “install FireFox” as the solution. It’s like telling a Windows user “install Linux” the second they have a problem with Windows.
Uninstall chrome use Mozila Firefox and ublock origin.
Use Firefox. I’ve never been flagged for using it on there.
Stop using chrome. It’s cheeks.
install a real browser like brave
I’ve used brave for a couple of years and had no issues with ads at all
Wait lol. The extension owners will fix it. Brave browser was fixed within the day for me. I think I saw it 3 times before it vanished.
Brave. It automatically blocks Youtubes block.
Switch to Brave.
use brave
