I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.
Does anyone here use NewPipe on Android? I also have Grayjay but haven’t really felt the need to get into it just yet. Just wondering if NewPipe is a bad choice for a YT client alternative?
I’m just scared of them deleting my account for real, while not even seeing the popup yet, because I block it.
@Send_me_nude_girls I’m now following this guide: https://docs.invidious.io/export-youtube-subscriptions/ and import it in FreeTube. Let’s see how this goes.
@euphoric_cat
@Send_me_nude_girls True, it does still seem to work. All threats have been for nothing.
I got that too like two weeks ago. Updated the “quick fixes” filter list and haven’t seen it since.
Remove your custom rules for youtube. Make sure you don’t have other adblockers such as the one build into the youtube enhancer add-on and if you’re using Firefox, as you should, disable the enhanced tracking protection for youtube (in the address bar) Other than that just make sure you keep uBlock Origin up to date since they update the adblocking detection script atleast twice a day. Just click the clock icon in the “quick fixes” section and click update. No need to update all your filters every time.
@Thorny_Insight yea indeed I did clear cached and fetch all again.
Just use Invidious.
@melroy This is stupid YouTube… Anyway, if you’re on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. 😉👍
@vintprox You’re 100% right. We need to move away from it. Eventually maybe PeerTube? Sure, Grayjay is a good combination of all! But I hope content creators also move away from youtube.
@vintprox Ps. I’m also testing FreeTube using my exported list of subscriptions (following https://docs.invidious.io/export-youtube-subscriptions/), since I’m more looking for a good solution on my desktop PC.
