How to whitelist youtube channels from Adblock

For those of us who use adblock and don't want to remove it because,it makes life much easier but also want to help people like LinusTechTips by at least supporting them through Ads

There is a way for you to do both 

 

  1. Starting with- Go to options

Thats it,you might come across this bug with double reload but that only happens to me maybe.....

and i know this is something very easy/common and many people already know about it but few people like me,never noticed this before and this was in beta last time i checked (month ago)  :)

Great stuff! I didn't know they had implemented this feature into ad-block. It's only right that LTT be my first whitelisted channel.

Nice topic! I like to white list only the sites that I come to like.

If you want to add all Linus to the white list in one go you can add enteritis manually in AdBlock. To add entries go to tab adapt. Add this to the list:

I shall remember this moving forward.

We all need a daily check-up from the neck up to avoid stinkin' thinkin' which ultimately leads to the hardening of attitudes. - Zig Ziglar

The sad fact about atheists is that they stand for nothing while standing against things that have brought much good to the world. Now ain't that sad. - Anonymous

Replace fear with faith and fear will disappear. - Billy Cox  ......................................Also, Legalism, Education-bred Arrogance and Hubris-based Assumption are BULLSHIT.

I had no clue you could do this, but it's something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time! Thanks for the tip!
