tombuben, 10 miesięcy temu w Proton VPN. How good is it?

Proton is a great company with a pretty good record, but I wouldn’t recommend them for passwords when Bitwarden exists. Proton only open-sources their clients, and for service based offerings like mail or VPN I don’t care about the servers being open-source, but for password management I want to be able to host my own (making sure that self-hosted mail gets properly received by Gmail is pain and self-hosting a huge VPN network is basically impossible).

pi-hole means no ads anywhere!

If your pihole can block YouTube ads please tell me how!

Barky, 10 miesięcy temu

This doesn’t prevent YouTube ads. Source: have a pi-hole

Poggervania, 10 miesięcy temu

Actually not true, the way YouTube ads show up is more or less almost impossible for pi-holes to catch. There’s been some successes in the past, but then YouTube ads somehow find another way to circumvent it.

Chewy7324, 10 miesięcy temu

Unless the ad is served on the same domain as the video. There’s no way to block the ad through DNS without blocking the video too.

TheCraiggers, 10 miesięcy temu w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

I’ve got so many layers of adblock it’s hard to know which one(s) are responsible for blocking the ads.

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

Same here. Was just explaining to a coworker who was complaining about YT ads that I "just" use PiHole+Unbound for network blocking, AirVPN with DNS blocking, mullvad Private DNS on Android, and then Libretube to view my self-hosted Piped instance. As I said it I realized how ridiculous it's gotten and how deranged I probably sound.

NumbersCanBeFun, 10 miesięcy temu

This all sounds like extremely reasonable to me. Fuck the haters.

UndefinedIsNotAFunction, 10 miesięcy temu

Same. Keep up the good work.

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

Haha I appreciate y'all! Next stop: Tor City

can, 10 miesięcy temu

Reasonable, yes. Feasible for everyone? Not necessarily. I would like to get at least a pihole going at some point but for now ublock origin and ReVanced have been enough for me.

SomeBoyo, 10 miesięcy temu

Why do you need adblock, when using piped?

Darkassassin07, 10 miesięcy temu

Because the internet includes more than just youtube…?

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

For everything other than Youtube!

reflex, 10 miesięcy temu

PiHole+Unbound . . . AirVPN with DNS blocking, mullvad Private DNS . . . Libretube

This is what I pictured reading all that.

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

Hahaha yeah I may have went a little berserk there

Very_Bad_Janet, 10 miesięcy temu

Did your coworker know what you were talking about? Also, please explain how AirVPN with DNS blocking works.

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

Well they were already talking UBO and PiHoles, so I had faith lol AirVPN has the option to add blocklists to its DNS. Obviously with everything else I don't really need it, but it can't hurt.

TrustingZebra, 10 miesięcy temu

I just use use uBlock Origin.

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

I didn't think that could block Youtube ads alone? Like Hulu and Spotify

TrustingZebra, 10 miesięcy temu

Before this new behavior uBlock Origin always blocked YouTube ads.

Risk, 10 miesięcy temu

I mean, it did up until maybe now.

nudnyekscentryk, 10 miesięcy temu

still does outside the US

Emanuel, 10 miesięcy temu

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the point of using Piped having a proxy between you and YouTube? Or are you serving your instance to friends/family so that your queries get mixed together?

DARbarian, 10 miesięcy temu

Yeah that's the point. I do use my instance for links when sharing to people, but the main reason I selfhosted was for control and mostly just fun

elouboub, 10 miesięcy temu

Can't you just open a new private tab or window for every video that you watch?

Kbin_space_program, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu)

Absolutely you can. There are absolutely no other, easier ways to circumvent it and this is absolutely not a failed attempt at sarcasm at how laughable their malware attempt is.

Even the "endgame" one is laughably easy to circumvent. I'm not giving them any hints though because Fuck Google.

cyanarchy, 10 miesięcy temu w Whats your preferred codec?

FLAC, because you didn’t specify what kind of Codec.

hyper, 10 miesięcy temu

My bad, I was asking about video codecs.
But I agree FLAC for audio. Although I convert to ALAC when using apple products which is basically the same.

cyanarchy, 10 miesięcy temu

Roundcat, 10 miesięcy temu w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

Not yet, and I'm already prepared to use piped if I can't use youtube itself, and hopefully people will start reuploading content to peertube (wink) if yt just becomes inaccessible.

Grownbravy, 10 miesięcy temu w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

I saw two borked up ads that played audio and no video, refreshed my browser and haven’t seen them since. I also updated my block list and it’s been fine.

porkins, 10 miesięcy temu w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

I don’t get ads. I don’t know why. I have YouTubeTV and get the splash when opening the app to buy Premium, but nonetheless don’t get any ads ever. I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth and not questioning it.

LoafyLemon, 10 miesięcy temu

Some countries don't allow interruptive ads. Cherish it while you still can!

myersguy, 10 miesięcy temu w Proton VPN. How good is it?

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it’s very solid.

Honse, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu) w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

I’m going to start a discussion in the comments here about methods to bypass the message. I will add suggestions here, so leave comments if you find a method!

Methods to bypass Youtube Anti-Adblock:

• The easiest method is simply to comply and turn off your adblock extension.My Method- My method, and the one that will likely work universally is as follows:

Install Extension Enhancer for YouTube™

• Downloads:Firefox | Chrome

Go to the extensions settings and ensure that under the Ads Management section, “Block Ads” is turned OFF

Now find the Custom Script box at the very bottom and enter the following script. I did not write this code, it comes from egaudette on GitHub

<span style="color:#323232;">(function() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    'use strict';
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var clickInterval = setInterval(skipAds, 5);

</span><span style="color:#323232;">    function skipAds() {

</span><span style="color:#323232;">            ytpAdModule.style.display = 'none';
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        }

</span><span style="color:#323232;">        if (skipButton !== null) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            skipButton.click();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            return;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        currentVideo = document.querySelector('video[class*="main-video"]')
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        if (currentVideo !== null &amp;&amp; currentVideo.duration &lt;= 5) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            currentVideo.muted = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            currentVideo.play();

</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">})();
</span>

Lastly, ensure the “Automatically execute the script when YouTube is loaded in a tab” box is checked, and press Save

I’ll add more methods as they are discovered!

Neato, 10 miesięcy temu

Why would this work when others get blocked? Is it a novel way to block YT ads that's not popular? Because I think YT isn't looking for specific extensions but looking for certain kinds of behavior.

Honse, 10 miesięcy temu

This method lets ads load for half a second but then get skipped instantly. i have not personally found a way to 100% block ads once ive gotten their block page.

nilloc, 10 miesięcy temu

I use greasemonkey to do a similar trick with the skip and dismiss buttons. But added random delays up to 2 seconds in an attempt to mimic a human clicking the button.

Also instead of an interval running, you can use MutationObserver and a callback to only run the code when the DOM changes and adds the button.

Platform27, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu) w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

Until today I haven’t seen an ad on YT, for years. Then I searched for a video, clicked, and got an ad. Clicked off the video, restarted the browser (also updated uBlock’s filters), and that fixed it.

Edit: I wrote this and got another ad. No video, just the audio.
