I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.
Update your list in settings on unlock. I updated mine today since I got the msg when I open YouTube.
Yep.
I hit the clear cache. Then update. And boom, message was gone.
Is this a global thing? I never saw that popup and was thinking maybe they are directing this only at the US and Europe. I am in north Africa and YouTube premium isn’t even available (not that I’d pay for that overpriced bullshit).
@nobloat then it’s most likely only a US & EU thing. Good to know, I can fake my origin.
I’m in Europe and haven’t seen it yet either, so I guess it’s just random and we’ve been lucky.
After you run out, hit the embed button, then watch the video as normal.
I got that too like two weeks ago. Updated the “quick fixes” filter list and haven’t seen it since.
Remove your custom rules for youtube. Make sure you don’t have other adblockers such as the one build into the youtube enhancer add-on and if you’re using Firefox, as you should, disable the enhanced tracking protection for youtube (in the address bar) Other than that just make sure you keep uBlock Origin up to date since they update the adblocking detection script atleast twice a day. Just click the clock icon in the “quick fixes” section and click update. No need to update all your filters every time.
Get the Vinegar plugin
Does anyone here use NewPipe on Android? I also have Grayjay but haven’t really felt the need to get into it just yet. Just wondering if NewPipe is a bad choice for a YT client alternative?

I have tried it. Works really well but I prefer LibreTube’s UI
@melroy This is stupid YouTube… Anyway, if you’re on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. 😉👍
@vintprox You’re 100% right. We need to move away from it. Eventually maybe PeerTube? Sure, Grayjay is a good combination of all! But I hope content creators also move away from youtube.
@vintprox Ps. I’m also testing FreeTube using my exported list of subscriptions (following https://docs.invidious.io/export-youtube-subscriptions/), since I’m more looking for a good solution on my desktop PC.
I’m just scared of them deleting my account for real, while not even seeing the popup yet, because I block it.

@euphoric_cat
@Send_me_nude_girls True, it does still seem to work. All threats have been for nothing.
@Send_me_nude_girls I’m now following this guide: https://docs.invidious.io/export-youtube-subscriptions/ and import it in FreeTube. Let’s see how this goes.
I use freetube on desktop ( The libredirect extension make it an ease ), and since i watch subscribed channels in phone, i use revanced. So that i don’t cause viewership loss to them ( IDK it will affect them directly or not, just for my pleasure. )
Just use Invidious.
@kby I can’t agree more… I now also try FreeTube. But sure we should also all move to PeerTube.
