Comment on YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems

  I randomly stopped getting the anti-adblocking. On my gaming PC I never got them, on my laptop they went away after I disabled my adblocking for one video and then re-enabled it. Now I don’t get them at all. Did they give up on me?

    I’d love they gave up on me too…

      They no longer appear for me. The biggest change for me was just using uBlock Origin. Previously I also had Ghostery. If you run multiple extensions for privacy, try dropping them and only using uBlock.

        Never got them for some reason, with just ghostery (and maybe privacybadger)

  Using an alternative front end isn’t losing

  Once they get rid of front ends they’ll have won

  You are remembering to purge all caches before refreshing I hope?

  Try opening your subscription page as usual with your ublock, but then right-click “open in private window” the videos you want to watch. Works for me.

  I wish Piped worked for me, I was trying to watch a Linux tutorial in full HD to see the commands better and Piped just refused to buffer the video.

    There are other alternatives too, like invidious. The yewtu.be instance works decently well for me but limits to 720p I think. There is a list of all running instances somewhere on the github iirc. There’s other instances that allow full HD, just have a search and you should be able to find one.

      Just redirect any watch page to redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=%ID% and you will get a list of instances. Can be setup with Redirector in a minute

        Well, I just got Redirector last night to check it out and it took me some time to figure out how to get it to work right where I have youtube.com/watch?v=* redirecting to yewtu.be/watch?v=$1 in case there is something funky going on there that causes me to need to have that redirect active.

  What works for me is opening a new Private windows on Firefox, with ublock installed, and then login into YouTube. I do have to login every time I hope a private windows by so far I’ve been able to watch unlimited videos with an ad blocker installed

  Why are you using YouTube at all if you don’t like it so much? Go use something else.

  Same here.
