  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!

  Youtube already blocks ublock

    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.

        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.

    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.

        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?

    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.

    Yes, only the nightly version though.
