shasi Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 hi today I got message on my chrome browser saying this - can anyone know how to fix these issues as I am using ublock origin extension. Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled. Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide. You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription. I am not facing any issue on android devices as iam using YouTube ReVanced Advanced and facing no issues with it - this is what I use in android devices https://androjungle.com/youtube-revanced-advanced/ please help me fix the issue on desktop devices.

Mutton Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 This is going to be a moving target as google tries to circumvent advert blockers. I use uBlock Origin and it is doing well blocking them at the moment. See these two recent posts here: I also use a Pi-hole for local DNS filtering, but that is ineffective in this case of course. It still stops a lot of other adverts before they even reach the browser. phen0men4, Karlston and Tux 528 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Sorry, moved this topic to Security & Privacy Center, fits better. Left a link in Guides & Tutorials to point to it here, will remain for 30 days. —- There’s some good reading in these weekly Reddit threads by uBO… The Google/YouTube bullies don’t have a chance. Plenty of smarter folks out here who will find ways around whatever they throw at us.

Akaneharuka Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Youtube let you use adbock 3 videos a day,after that it will block you video player. Karlston and Tux 528 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlston Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 YouTube has now blocked me from playing videos unless I disable adblocking or pay for YouTube Premium. Nope… After a bit of reading it seems that it's only in tabs where you're logged into YouTube that the popups and possible restrictions happen. This works for me.. if your browser supports private tabs/windows (I think they all do now)... Have one (not private) tab/window open logged into YouTube (subscriptions is a good choice) and another (private) tab/window not logged into YouTube. In the (not private) tab/window, copy the link of a video you want to see. Move to the (private) tab/window, paste the link there and it'll play fine. The adblocking (by uBO or AdGuard or ...) should still happen in private tabs/windows so all the usual YT ads are still removed. All browsers should work the same.

Karlston Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 There's a good FAQ about all this here... https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/youtube/detection-faq/ The current weekly uBO thread I posted above can be accessed using this link... https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/about/sticky?num=2 dabourzannan, phen0men4 and aum 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phen0men4 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 As @Karlston mentioned, private tab seems to work (hopefully for most?), but logged in, Nope. (F5, still works for me) The image below is from the url that Karston posted above. Let's wait for a concrete fix that works permanently in all modes. source Akaneharuka, Karlston and aum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlston Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Google/YouTube seems to have taken pity on me and my access is back to normal. No popups telling me that Ad blockers are not allowed or threatening to remove the player. Don't care whether they reinstate it or not, using a public (logged into YouTube) tab to list the videos and a private (not logged in to YouTube) tab to watch them is a simple and easy fix. lurch234, phen0men4 and aum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlston Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 New uBO Reddit thread... Also, it seems AdGuard is doing a bit too. Still unable to play videos (am at Stage 4 in the above thread) in a public tab, but the ugly Google notification is gone. Still using a private tab to successfully watch videos, with minor inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akaneharuka Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Can I somehow check if uBO's filters are up to date? Certainly! Please visit https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/ If it's green, the ID matches, which means the filters were updated already for the latest script.

HI. First of all, check in your Chrome browser settings that advanced protection is not active (Path: Settings/privacy and security/security). Advanced security gives Google the ability to better spy on your browser's situation. Then I advise you to adopt "fadblock" for YouTube, which can be downloaded "at least for the moment" from the same Google store. It's a plugin that, in simple terms, serves to make Google believe that you watch YouTube videos with advertising, although the plugin bypasses it. Personally, since I adopted these countermeasures, I no longer have any problems. Then pay attention to Chrome updates: when it updates, Chrome tends to change some privacy settings... always check after each browser update.

lurch234 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Since my last post here (Oct. 25th) uBlock Origin has been working fine with only twice did I have to purge the caches and update. I'm using some user added filters and one addon to rid myself of tik tok shorts. And it still works! For now. Karlston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It's uBO's "Quick fixes" filters that does the trick. From the uBO Dashboard's Filter List tab... Just tested it with AdGuard for iOS on my iPad, seems to work fine. If you want to try it, add the filter... https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/quick-fixes.txt ... to AdGuard. Like with uBO update it as necessary, it's been reported that Google/YouTube change their adblocker detection script twice per day. bolo33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillasky33 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I use the Kaspersky Plus ad blocker and so far it still works on YouTube, so let's see how long it lasts working 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
