I saw the Youtube banner telling me it detected an ad blocker and wouldn’t let me watch a lot for about a week. Now it’s been over two months with nothing but smooth sailing on μBlock Origin. I’m even back to being able to block Shorts from appearing on my sub feed, where before it seemed like any YT-specific filters would let them detect the blocker.

  I recently found Firefox has extensions for blocking them on your homepage works a treat with app an sponsor block.
  
  Added them the last time my hide for 30 days expired and the option was gone.
  
  Seriously why the fuck would I want to watch vertical videos on my desktop that if I wasn’t blocking them would be bookends by ads longer than the fucking video

  There’s a set of filters that hides them from your feed and from search results. If I remember tonight, I’ll share it when I’m back on my home computer.

  I know that the re-vanced app on Android has a setting to remove them. Not sure about desktop.
