Ublock Origin and SponsorBlock and Enhancer for YouTube will make the YouTube experience SO MUCH better!
Ublock blocks ads, SponsorBlock blocks sponsorship deals that the YouTuber includes (Clash of clans, Norton, etc), and Enhancer lets you play with the settings on a whole other level, including blocking things like end cards.

Seems to still be working for me. At least I haven’t encountered any notices yet.

They are targeting a portion of users, but once you’re chosen to be the test target, you’ll see.
Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Yeah, I just commented to another user about the same things. Seems they’re doing some A/B testing or something like it. No worries, I understand uBlock has an update available that addresses it already.

I’m ok with In-video sponsors though. You can always skip them (unlike YouTube ads) and the money goes straight to the content creator.
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
It does skip them, just automatically.
Plus you can skip intros, outros, and about a dozen of other things.

It’s great most of the time, but occasionally it will skip sections that are definitely not an ad and instead an important part of the video.
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
It has non-ad settings, like intro, outro, recap, etc.
Be sure to check your settings, as not just adverts are on by default.
If it’s not that, make sure to “thumbs down” the skip when it pops up as that helps the system as a whole.

I had no idea Sponsor Block was available as an FF addon. Any idea if it works on FF mobile?
Kissaki@feddit.de 11 months ago
FF mobile currently has a very selected list of available extensions, which does not include it yet.
But that’s about to change before the end of the year. FF mobile is finally opening up add on usability and distribution.

Not through the official firefox mobile. Maybe you can get it to work with firefox nightly, but I haven’t tested myself.
But I can recommend Libretube or Newpipe X sponsorblock x return youtube dislike. If you haven’t installed Fdroid I can recommend that as well. It functions as an appstore (Like the PlayStore), and you can find/upgrade the apps through there. Otherwise you may find the apks manually on github
Though luck if you’re on iOS, bur I assume you’re on Android.

I’m in Ohio. Any combination of words that has “Vance” in it and I want too throw up…
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Yes, only the nightly version though.

Those end cards suck, though it’s usually the creator’s fault. Put them where there is no content at the end, not when I’m still waiting for the punchline!
