minus-squarebleistift2@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI’m 95% sure it’s a combination of Linux + Firefox + uBlock Origin and YouTube is trying to make me get rid of all three of those. Not gonna happen. I mean, I could try disabling uBlock Origin, but either way I don’t get to see content, so what’s the point? 🥲
minus-squarePossibly linux@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI would use Newpipe. On mobile you can get it from F-droid and on desktop you can use Waydroid if you are on Linux. Just a side note but I would use there F-droid repo over F-droid main
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI have Firefox and ublock and watch an ungodly amount of YT, no issues.
minus-squareprotist@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI’m having no problem with YouTube using Firefox and uBlock on Android
minus-squarefeef@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI have ff and ublock on windows and every now and then YouTube videos have issues like stopping playing and not recovering (where an ad would play). Only fix is to hard refresh the page.
minus-squareSergio@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoSometimes hard refresh wasn’t enough and I had to actually quit firefox (which also cleared cookies) and try again. Doesn’t happen too often tho.
minus-square𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoThat’s one of their antiAdBlock features, actually, and it’s working as designed. Hard refresh doesn’t work for me. I stopped using yt site on desktop, and only use freetube now. If a video doesn’t play on that, I yt-dlp it.
minus-squaremelroy@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoPretty sure YouTube hates uBlock Origin. BUt I will keep using it forever. f* google
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoAnother one with Linux + FF + uB-O here, and I also don’t have problems with Youtube. But they broke uB-O recently, maybe you need to upgrade it.
