📌 YouTube Anti-Adblock and Ads - November 12, 2023 (Mega Thread)
Fixing anti-adblock may cause ads or breakages. If you see any issue, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate by commenting here or in this thread on github.

YouTube's Adblock detection might break the law in the EU
Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?

YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin
Mega thread issue on GitHub tracking this https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/19976

Tell HN: YouTube disabling playback after 3 videos
YouTube is stepping up the anti-adblock nonsense and will be disabling playback after 3 videos
Personally, this sort of arms race is only going to cause me to not use YouTube

Tell HN: "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube”
> ... and if a site directly tells me it doesn't like my ad blocker, I leave. I haven't gone to the ad-blocker-blocker level.
You may not be aware that many such messages are themselves blocked by the default lists in ublock origin. Examples:

Show HN: uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
If you use uBlock Origin, did you try to submit these filters to the uBlock Annoyances[1] or EasyList Annoyances lists before starting up this project?
That would help far more people that starting up yet another Annoyances list.

uBlockOrigin/uAssets vs EasyList for reporting new ads
If I have noticed a new ad, to which list should I report a filter issue? Should I report the new advertisement to the issue tracker at uBlockOrigin/uAssets, or should it be reported to EasyList instead?

cosmetic filters block twitter posts from loading
I'm not sure if it's related to this issue, but there was an update to twitter some hours ago: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/9eb3926d2eac7bba31dfd2ebf4c153b3adfcdfd5

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Is there an Android app that blocks the ads on games?
It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
