Ublock Origin on firefox still work for me no filter
It’s pretty random whether you get the message or not. Some of my friends, including me, straight up cannot watch youtube on their website half of the time anymore, because it full blocks us. It’s not just an annoying message, videos actually just don’t play. But I only get it on some days. I think the message only pops up if you’ve been watching for more than like an hour straight. Then again, some of my friends have never seen the message. Who knows. Just more weird big tech server bullshit. Like how twitter’s api works 15% of the time (for me).
Purge cache and refresh does the trick if you have problems with the firefox+ublock combination. Or you have some other active extensions which prevents ublock from doing its thing.
Been watching for 3h straight and still no pop or problem with videos but when time eventually come I’ll try to setup UBO filter or using 3rd party frontend
I’m daily using uBlock Origin (with Firefox) on Windows, and ReVanced on Android, and have experienced zero indications that Google is at war with ad blockers. These two are fucking fantastic and highly recommended. I don’t expect it to last forever, but bravo to these devs and contributors.
Firefox with Adblocker Ultimate working fine for me as of last night. I’ll check again tonight.
They blocked me with that combo on my PC a week ago.
A bit unrelated, but do you know if there is a hardened firefox for linux (just like Mull for Android)?
LibreWolf is a hardened Firefox also available on Linux.
I use a betterfox userscript for hardening Linux Firefox
Will look into it, thanks!
