Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

I usually do this:

  • refresh uBo caches
  • delete all site data of youtube (in the shield thingy left of address bar)
  • close the browser

Mostly always worked

Yep I’ve had to do this a couple of times. I’d rather go through this dance than watch a single ad.

I’m to the point where I have a container tab for yt I delete and recreate.

For me that step alone has always worked. No need to touch UBO or restart the browser. Just clear data and refresh.
