Why am I still seeing Ad's on youtube with two different adblockers installed?

[Profoundsoup]

Perhaps regular AdBlock still works. I have AdBlockPlus and AdBlock, and I have yet to see a single ad...

 

Try installing AdBlock and see what happens.

Try the video I just linked, let me know

[Profoundsoup]

I Still haven't had an issue with ublock, had with abp so no idea

Try the video I just linked

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

It don't matter coz' I quit using ad block on youtube and a lot of other sites

 

But ad block is neccesarry when you go to pir***bay to pira** stuff

[Bouzoo]

Try the video I just linked

No ad

[TetraSky]

No ads on my side.
Then again, ads are blocked directly in my router. (so no ads on all my devices, every browsers, mobile apps, etc.. it also blocks microsoft's data collection servers, if you use the code I posted in the spoiler, which is the same as the site, but with extra hosts)

0- Need a DD-WRT router, r27745 (wifi is borked in the latest releases)
1- Enable Cron (Administration tab)
2- Enable DNSMasq (service tab)
3- Local DNS (service tab)
4- Copy the script to the firewall, in the Admin/Command tab.
5- Reboot router
6- Wait 10 minutes or so before you are adfree.

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. (for the Hide Element thing, while the ads themselves are blocked in the router, they still leave big empty spots in the browser)
I tried using Chrome (44) and I also had no ads. (44 since it's a portable version, I don't use it as my regular browser, just for that once every blue moon where I need to use chrome)

Did you make sure to remove the Youtube app from Chrome?

I looked at my chrome apps and I dont see it...anywhere else I can look?

[Guest]

Technically this against the CoC.

 

otherwise, switch to Firefox or Chromium and uninstall the Youtube App.

[TetraSky]

You typed

chrome://apps/

 

in the URL bar?

 

Well you can try using Hostsman, with the MVPS Hosts and hpHosts (Ad and tracking) sources.

Technically this against the CoC.

otherwise, switch to Firefox or Chromium and uninstall the Youtube App.

Nothing in the CoC about Adblock or Ad circumvention.

[DanTheMuffinMan]

type chrome://apps into your address bar and delete the youtube app

I was having the same problem with AdBlock and AdBlock Plus, this solved it though. Thanks @WinDJ

Yep it gone...still ad's even with adblock and Ublock...fuck Google.

[khaled93]

i use Adguard and never get these ads you just need to search for it in extentions

[Teemslo]

chrome did a update that broke the adblockers atm. They work fine on Firefox. 

[EChondo]

Have you tried closing out of chrome completely and then watching a YouTube video?

[KemoKa]

It's a thing with Chrome now, it ignores those extensions.

Which is a huge shot in the foot for Google because now a load of people are gonna go to Firefox. Winners!

[GoldSrc]

Yup, it's sort of a problem with Chrome recently.

Promoting illegal use of software.

By definition, this is illegal because it is taking the creators product and not paying for it.... (Using ads)

[Guest]

I've heard other people having this problem as well. At the time of writing this post both my AdBlock and AdBlockPlus are working completely fine... just to be safe I think I'll disable auto updates on Chrome. For you, I'd say you might have to switch to *shiver* Firefox until someone bypasses the update (which I'm sure someone will do).

What's wrong with Firefox?

[as96]

My adblock plus is still working perfectly.

[Burusutazu]

Mine works, but I whitelist YouTubers anyways. Ad-Block is mainly for when I browse the local news sites.

[Accursed Entity]

I use Adblock Pro... not a single ad... ever.

 

FireFox master Race.

Chrome to me os meh.

FireFox is overall better.

Yup, it happened last week. Ad blockers are useless in chrome. Switch to firefox or find an alternative.

Meh, Firefox is kinda shitty these days, there are certain adblocks that can block the ads.

I see no ads...

adblock use is not illegal, it may be bad from Linus's point of view.

I don't use adblock here nor in Linus's and other channels I like, but you can't force a user not to use adblock.

 

If we were discussing piracy and how to get content that way, then that would be against CoC, but not this.

Using Adblock is like watching a movie, with out atleast one of the persons you watch it with paying for it.

Yes using Adblock is illegal.

Ask Linus if using adblock is illegal.

According to the 8 people who have gone to jail for using it.....
