youtube_ad_blocklist VS brave-browser

but the list got so long it was unmaintainable and even a REGEX stack struggled to split it from the actual video servers and led to programs being created to try to manage the mess (e.g. this closed one had 9000+ entries).

I'd like to add these: https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist

This did solve the problem. The output of :config-diff is the following (besides changes in the color style) aliases = {"mpv": "spawn mpv", "q": "close", "qa": "quit", "w": "session-save", "wq": "quit --save", "wqa": "quit --save"} auto_save.interval = 15000 auto_save.session = true backend = webengine bindings.commands = {"normal": {"M": "hint links spawn mpv {hint-url}", "aa": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden", "ap": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden --password-only", "au": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden --username-only", "tt": "open -t ", "xs": "config-cycle statusbar.show always never", "xt": "config-cycle tabs.show always never", "yf": "hint links yank"}} bindings.key_mappings = {"": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": ""} completion.open_categories = ["quickmarks", "searchengines", "bookmarks", "history", "filesystem"] confirm_quit = ["downloads"] content.autoplay = false content.blocking.adblock.lists = ["https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt", "https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt", "https://ewpratten.retrylife.ca/youtube_ad_blocklist/hosts.ipv4.txt", "https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist/blob/master/blocklist.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/ads.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/basic.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/youtube.txt", "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistdutch.txt", "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/abp-filters-anti-cv.txt", "https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/", "https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-cookiemonster.txt"] content.blocking.enabled = true content.blocking.method = both content.cookies.accept = no-3rdparty content.cookies.store = true content.default_encoding = utf-8 content.desktop_capture = ask content.headers.referer = same-domain content.javascript.enabled = true content.notifications.presenter = messages content.plugins = false downloads.location.suggestion = path downloads.remove_finished = 10000 editor.command = ["alacritty", "-t", "quteconf", "-e", "nvim", "{file}"] fileselect.folder.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosedir={}"] fileselect.handler = external fileselect.multiple_files.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosefiles={}"] fileselect.single_file.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosefile={}"] fonts.default_family = Hack Nerd Font fonts.default_size = 12pt qt.args = ["ignore-gpu-blocklist", "enable-gpu-rasterization", "enable-accelerated-video-decode"] scrolling.smooth = true session.lazy_restore = true statusbar.show = always tabs.last_close = default-page tabs.mousewheel_switching = false tabs.new_position.unrelated = next tabs.select_on_remove = last-used tabs.show = never tabs.title.alignment = center tabs.width = 30 url.default_page = https://grecodavide.github.io/homesite/ url.searchengines = {"DEFAULT": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q={}", "a": "https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i={}", "g": "https://github.com/search?q={}", "p": "https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K={}", "r": "https://www.reddit.com/search/?q={}", "s": "https://stackoverflow.com/search?q={}", "w": "https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/{}", "y": "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={}"} url.start_pages = https://grecodavide.github.io/homesite/ window.hide_decoration = true

I found this and after applying that i'm not getting any pre-video ads at least, but banner ads still show up.

I don't know how to add it to ControlD but pasting https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist/blob/master/blocklist.txt into my browser filter lists does seem to block Youtube ads quite well.

Alternately, using YouTube in a browser with the oisd blocklist and this dedicated youtube ads blocklist should block most ads, but it won’t be reliable.

You'll notice the actual patching itself is introduced with the caveat:

Brave browser, which blocks ads and trackers, grew to over 50 million monthly active users in 2023 while enabling privacy-first models to counter Google's search and Chrome browser ecosystem.

Still waiting on the Brave stable release with the patched version of chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/35013

Manually download the standalone version from: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.61.101 and update it that way.

Upgraded Chromium to 120.0.6099.71. (#34740) (Changelog for 120.0.6099.71)

Brave Github repository

For those looking for a fix: Use the latest Nightly Build for Brave.
