On Firefox with uBO I think it plays sound but not video. I usually watch it on my smart TV I’m ashamed to say but I’ve noticed this on my desktop recently. Maybe a one off or I wasn’t paying attention.
Adblocking on mobile is much harder than adblocking on desktop, and if you’re in an emergency situation like the one described, you’re more likely on your phone.
Personally I use ReVanced, which incorporates adblocking as well as giving you Premium features like background playing & PIP (while also keeping the benefits of being signed in to YT, like using your playlists, comments, etc.). But if I were an iPhone user I don’t know how I would watch YouTube.
should have been an ad blocker it’s 2023.
YouTube just started noticing my ad blocker and throwing pop-ups before video telling me to cut it out
Time to use Invidious. inv.tux.pizza works for me.
I’ll save this thread so I know where to look next time grandma chokes on a bone.
Been using freetube with invidious backend. Works great!
Ublock Origin?

Well I’m sure everybody here on Lemmy already uses ublock. The rest of society doesn’t really know all these methods

agreed but it’s still shocking to me how people put up with so many ads it’s absolutely indegestable.
How does one become an ad blocker?
