The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

    I haven’t gotten any YouTube Adblock message on safari or Firefox on desktop or mobile. I wonder if it is because I don’t use a YouTube account. I read that this is affecting YouTube accounts, and people had luck after logging out. Haven’t been doing anything special other than Ublock Origin.

      Same. Haven’t seen this yet. Not using an account. Using freetube on desktop, clipious on Android. Sometimes the web version with ublock default. Have a pi-hole but it hasn’t blocked a YouTube ad since 2018 lol

        I’ll need to check out free tube again. When I last used it several months ago it wasn’t very reliable in loading videos right away.
