Lucidlethargy,

Google is such a douchy company now.

atrielienz,

Incognito mode is your friend. On Firefox anyway.

Grandwolf319,

A lot of people here hate brave but so far I’ve been able to block YouTube ads with brave with no issue whatsoever.

Odesna,

Meanwhile here I am with a YouTube premium account that they don’t charge me for

Back when YouTube red/premium came out. I was big into vulnerability/pen testing, and I used several scripts and spoofing techniques to try to get it for free. I failed and failed and failed. But then after I had given up. I decided to just watch some YouTube videos, and realized it said I had premium. And then I checked on the YouTube app, I had premium there too.

Years and years have gone by. I still have YouTube red/premium for free. They have never charged me. And I even had support transfer the YouTube red/premium to a new email at one point. Not ONE question. It says active and a price. But, I’m never charged. And the card that is on file, isn’t even active anymore and hasn’t been for about 2 years.

My theory is, one or several of my attempts combined with each other to get it for free. Glitched their system somehow or straight up allowed me to have it for free. But in terms of what I did. Whatever I did, I did everything again recently for my boyfriend, all the failed methods, everything again like I did for me. In the same exact order. Same error messages, same failed connection messages, same everything I went through. Didn’t have hope for him, but. He goes on YouTube later that night, and has premium.

Odesna,

This got downvoted because two people were salty. This means, my comment literally made two people (at the time of writing) so upset that I have it and they don’t. Wake up people, why do you let people you don’t even know upset you? Especially when it doesn’t effect you.

ToeNailClippings,

Maybe we need to lock off discussions about this from public view, lest they figure a way around it.

TvanBuuren,

You think they don’t have spies?

I recon at least 1 of the users here relays information to them, or even IS working for them.

ToeNailClippings,

Oh for sure they even have industrial spies out there in rival’s businesses.

No issues with revanced

Teritz,

Same here

pythia,

with FF and ublock i can watch yt as always. Never got the poup. But as of today, the youtube page is just blank. I can search and watch anything, but the start-page is blank. (no account)

Rhapsodicjock_108,

I’m getting the pop-up, which I can click to close and watch videos on my FF + Ublock.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f803f1ee-d09d-4408-a4e6-77936455d8de.jpeg

Teritz,

Clear you cache on UBlock Origin

Teritz,

Clear you cache on UBlock Origin

Rhapsodicjock_108,

I did purge my cache on Ublock, not working for me.

Teritz,

Then try ro disable all other extensions that manipulate Youtube that could cause the Message to still appear.

Rhapsodicjock_108,

Uninstalled FF and reinstalled, that worked. Interestingly I do not have this issue on my dualboot Ubuntu FF.

EncryptKeeper,

👀 I see that Satisfactory coffee cup

dangblingus,

Nope. FF with UBO still works perfectly.

letsgo,

Ssh! Yes, me too, but don’t let YouTube know that.

Oh! Yeah! I can’t watch videos without tons of adverts every 15 nanoseconds!!

masquenox,

I only use Firefox for youtube and nothing else… it still just works the same as ever - the only ads I see are the ones the creators make themselves for sponsors. I only use Chromium-based browsers for anything that has nothing to do with google…

Octopus1348,

Try Sponsorblck. It can block sponsors, and a couple of other things. You can also set a skip button for specific segments and skip them if you want. Users like you can mark sponsor and other segments for others to be able to skip.

    Is it just me or is WireMin closed source?

    In addition, the app contains Google tracker (This is what App Manager shows).

    It’s not the first time I’ve seen this app recommended in Lemmy and I don’t understand why.

    I think there are a lot of similar apps in Google Play.

    Upd: I checked Damus. Contains 24 trackers. 😂

    woshang,

    Yeah, they haven’t published the source code yet. I asked the WireMin team, and it seems they are a small team still finalizing the code. What is the App Manager called tho?

    Slow,

    f-droid.org/…/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager/

    When I read that someone is planning to open their code, I remember the news about the releases of the Sailfish operating system: “The operating system is partially open source, but the layer for running Android apps is proprietary. However, the code of this layer was planned to be made open in 2017”

    Planning doesn’t mean doing.

    No change for me, youtube sure is trying but ublock origin keeps fighting the good fight

    WallEx,

    Gotta love those guys

    Babalugats,

    Definitely not blocking here… but… I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube’s T&C’s or EU law?

    ours,

    Obviously, the law beats any T&C.

    te_st_user,

    'tis?
