Comment on YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer
Gestrid@lemmy.ca 1 year agoProbably wait until the adblockers update their filters to block YouTube’s attempt to block the adblockers. Twitch tried to do the same thing, and now there’s add-ons specifically designed to block that purple banner.

I’m not sure it’ll be that easy. As far as I know circumventing adblock-blockers is a violation under the DMCA :-( . I know some adblockers / block lists in the past have been slapped with DMCA notifications and they’ve subsequently removed the circumventions. See for example this commit to EasyList that removes functionalclam.com from EasyList. Functionalclam.com at the time was a service to block adblocking.
I’m hoping third-party youtube clients will be able to keep things ad-free.
