Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto

I was using uBlock but I kept getting messages that said blockers were not allowed. Then they started requiring me to wait to get rid of the warning. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there another add-on I can install to defeat this?

Use a VPN and be Vietnamese. They are rolling out a law against unskippable ads, IIRC.

When I had this problem in the past it was actually other addons causing the problem. Do you have any other addons? If so, try disabling all your addons (except ublock) and checking if the problem is gone. If so then you can re-enable them one by one until you find the offender. For me it was actually an addon which shouldn’t have affected YouTube or ads at all which was causing the problem.

If that doesn’t work or you don’t have any other addons, try going into the ublock settings (click the icon in your taskbar and then click the gears) and click restore to default settings at the bottom. If that still doesn’t work then you might have to seek help elsewhere (the official support page is r/ublockorigin if you’re okay with using reddit)

Every time I hit this, going into uBlock and refreshing the filterlists works

I have not had this problem using uBlock Origin on FireFox.
