AdBlock - Webpages and YouTube lag/stuttering is there a fix?

 

I have been using AdBlock for many years now, No issues until a couple of days ago...

 

I have YouTube Premium and never had issues with AdBlock most likely cause of YouTube Premium but i fear YouTube is limiting YouTube even though i am paying for Premium...

 

I am trying to adjust AdBlock by disabling it just for YouTube but for some reason YouTube is still running terribly,

 

Only when i disable AdBlock or run in Incognito mode does YouTube runs like normal,

 

Does anyone have advice for me what i should do in order to have YouTube on Chrome work without issues but still have AdBlock working for general Internet use?

 

I am also open minded to trying other Ad Blockers if there are better ones out there,

Yes, been helping people with this for over a week now. Honestly i'm amazed how many people use Adblock, I was under the impression uBlock Origin was the default standard for years now. 

 

I just use Premium, works great.

I've been using YouTube Premium for any years now, issue i have is as of yesterday i am getting a tone of lag and issues because of AdBlock, it seems to defiantly be related to my Ad Blocker software,

 

What Ad Blocker software do you recommend for me?

 

I used to use Ad Block plus then that failed me and i moved to AdBlock and that's worked great for years but as of the last few days its causing me serious issues,

 

Also i cant seem to access Chiaki

Is the link working for anyone else?

 

Again could be my AdBlock causing issues with the site loading but it appears its down???

What was mentioned twice above. 

 

Though with Premium I just have it entirely disabled for Youtube.

See...I tried to disable it with AdBlock but it still didn't work only when it was completely disabled across all sites not just YouTube,

 

I'll give this UBlock a try I'll report back soon with my results

I was just about to ask...what's the difference's between them both?

 

Is this the correct one i should install?

So far so good

 

Should  i disable it when using YouTube or leave it as?

 

Its currently working fine with it enabled across all sites as default but i am unable what settings manage how to disable it for YouTube alone?

Websites will change something to make ads visible. The ad blockers will update and block them. This is never-ending.

It's actually pretty terrible. I've been paying for YouTube Premium for years. Late last night was the first time I've seen the paid experience get affected. I've also been using Adblock (the getadblock.com variety). It's been ol' faithful for many, many years. The only thing that would resolve the behaviors I was experiencing was to pause adblock on YouTube. I flipped back n' forth pausing and unpausing adblock, and was able to verify that it was indeed adblock running that was affecting it. No other sites or services was being affected. Page loads, button hovers/clicks, video loading, scrubbing, changing video quality, hovering over videos for preview, all of that was pretty borked. It's quite agitating when even as a paying user, I'm given a worse experience. I took some recordings of the behavior last night. Might have to cut it and post it.

There is already a discussion ongoing on reddit, uBlock origin works perfectly fine but there are also some alternatives posted

Looks like the media is covering it.
