Works on my machine fails to account for A/B testing. Everytime someone says something’s not working, they also mean it’s not working on my machine/account.
Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

uBlock Origin on Firefox with default settings and filterlists still works successfully on Youtube.

uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube.rumba@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
Google does not always provide the same Youtube code/challenges to you and me. That’s what A/B testing is about.

Is uBlock Origin working for you specifically, enabling it alone with no other add-on?
StinkyRedMan@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Stopped working for me last weekend if i’m logged in. Youtube deploy this kind of things in waves usually.
daannii@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yep. Still working on mine. I also use windows 10. Dunno if that matters or not.

So seamless that I didn’t even notice

Mine isn’t working flawlessly with this exact set up, but it’s just forcing me to refresh the page every time I load a new video. Still no ads.
kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 days ago
Are you using other add-ons?
LordPassionFruit@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s uBlock.
But I’m on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting “distro specific” bugs in recent months, so I’m chalking it up to “my OS + Firefox” and not “uBlock”

I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.

spite and hatred are incredibly powerful motivator.

No, you’re thinking of Sprite, specifically the bottle caps.

I’m still waiting for them to just to implement Wildvine. It has to happen at some point.

Widevine
rumba@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
yes, that thing :)
Scrollone@feddit.it 2 days ago
Yes, I wonder why they hadn’t done it yet, except for paid movies.
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Yeah, they probably already have the tooling in place. Maybe the power (heat + work) cost to encode a Mr. Beast video hurts the profit too much.
Maybe they’re afraid of putting widevine at the working end of the likes of ublock origin and brave. iIIRC some of the WV keys are in the wild, they just keep em close to the action not to make them rotate them out.
