New YouTube Video Ads Defeated and Ad Blocker Blackouts of the Content-- Apparently

more options

After several days spent testing all combinations of ad blockers etc it appears I have a working solution. You can see in the image I disabled about everything. What's left enabled on Youtube is BitWarden, YouTube Shorts Block, Ghostery and FadBlock. Took a while to get to that working combination but all is looking good right now...

I do hope this helps someone...

That might be your setup but that doesn't mean it works for all Regions of the world for those extensions. Everyone has to find and configure their setups that works for their location. What works in one will not be the same in another. Nothing on the screenshot tells if it is working or not.

It works, Norbert, in northwestern Tennessee. It's a Hell of a good start on solving the problem. "Nothing on the screenshot tells if it is working or not." I say it works, Norbert. If you don't like that -- tough. Was simply posting info for something that works and could help others. What's your gig -- discredit what is posted ? More tears in IT than you, Norbert... Have you tried the combo ? That's what I thought...

Then you should post that to another forum about adblocker forum. No one can verify whom you are or where your from. Name calling is why you discredited yourself.

"No one can verify whom you are or where your from...". Oh, please. Forty-two years as an Intel engineer and IT pro. Yourself ? Your What the hell does, "No one can verify whom you are or where your from..." matter ? Who are you ? Where are you from ? Odd responses to what I found works most of the time. No more responses. Go away.

Yep ! I was in the dissimilar platform connectivity group at Deer Valley and Mesa. Fast Path was our bailiwick. My job was the PLC controller chips for the 16-bit high-speed parallel interface cards under Vax/Vms. Only a 16-bit channel (not 32-bit !) was needed for Flexlink. Boeing was our biggest client for that. The was the DEC Bi-Bus. Drivers were my thing -- I lived at the Vms SYSGEN prompt -- know what that is ? Then I moved to Mesa as a consultant. Didja know new Intel chips were coded, modeled and vetted on Vax/Vms platforms ? Mostly the Vax 9000. Yourself ? Just a browser blog guy ?

Pizz me off and I'll solve the problem -- and I did. New YT video ads all gone. As is the ad blocker detector. Screw me for trying to help, I reckon... Rather than accept my findings I get arguments and Gotchas. Put that in yer bong and toke on it, Norbert... All the new YT ads are gone...but just for me now...
