So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.
I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷♂️
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.
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, it doesn’t work for me anymore.
You just need to update you filter lists. Go into settings -> filter lists and click on “Purge all caches” and then on “Update now”
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.
Alright thanks for the notice!
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.

You can use it with ReVanced! https://revanced.app/download
I’m in Ohio. Any combination of words that has “Vance” in it and I want too throw up…
Yes, only the nightly version though.
