I have yet to see this running ublock origin on firefox

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Same. And the instant I do I will stop using youtube.

YouTube has gotten nice guy aggressive with fucking ads, especially on here ... Instead of the video you see instant ad. I will not watch the ad so I click back and instead of taking me back to my app YouTube shrinks the ad then keeps it there I have to press back another two times to get the fuck away from YouTube so I can copy the link and open it in Firefox with ublock origin. I love new pipe.

Purge cache and update Ublock Origin

*uBlock Origin

Note: There's a fake one called uBlock out there, so it's best to point people to uBlock Origin or simply uBO as it's abbreviated.

And sponsorblock for the in-video ads

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I personally am ok with sponsors. They directly support the creators, and are easy enough to skip. Much better than unskippable targeted ads to "support" a multi-billion-dollar company...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure they still do get paid since it's based on views, SponsorBlock is just an Auto-skipping tool it's not any different than scrubbing the bar manually to bypass it, though by being automated it is pretty seamless most of the time.

It is being tested on select viewers before rollout.
