Question Youtube blocked because of ad blocker

[Kiss]

Does anyone know how to bypass this Google block?

Today I went to YouTube and I can no longer watch videos with ad blockers, I can only watch if I remove the adblock, I tried with Chrome and Edge, both do not let me watch the videos

You can try using a different ad blocker, or adjusting your current one's settings. Sometimes, clearing your browser's cache and cookies can also help. However, please note that bypassing such restrictions might violate YouTube's terms of service.

I'm logged into my YouTube account, so I don't know if that makes a difference for when I go back to it. With Brave and just using it's default ad blocker set to aggressively block, it's still working normally. Same with Chrome and uBlock Lite set on Complete Filtering Mode, no problem getting on YouTube. I'm accessing it from the US, using a VPN didn't make any difference either, still no problems.

The problem is caused by uBlock filters – Quick fixes filter and it should be fixed now. Update filters in uBlock Origin by clicking on balloon icon and then Update now button. Don't forget to delete site data (including cookies) for all YouTube domains as well.

If it still doesn't work, add following rule to user filter:

www.youtube.com#@#+js(json-prune-fetch-response, playerAds adPlacements adSlots playerResponse.playerAds playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.adSlots [].playerResponse.adPlacements [].playerResponse.playerAds [].playerResponse.adSlots, '', propsToMatch, /\/(?:player|playlist|get_watch)\?/)

Yes, I could not use YT with Brave for several hours, but it seems that they have updated filters and fixed it, but it happens more and more often. Google is getting serious.

Never occurred to me once. Not even when they introduced that garbage. But I did saw VPN error message few times.

Still... I'm not paying a single cent for YouTube.

They block most VPN's now mullvad is the only one that they have a hard time with.

I'm no longer paying for it either, but I do login and have an account to be able to save videos to my Playlists etc.

I am not having any problems with youtube even when logged in with my google acccount , i use adguard desktop by the way , i hope your problems will be solved soon.

I think they're A/B testing the feature. Windscribe is mixed bag for me, most of servers work normally.

You were paying for it? No need to pay for YouTube Premium if you already pay for VPN. Just connect to Albanian server and voilà, you have ad-free YouTube.

No issues here with PIA, set to Bahamas and watch ad free

No problems with windscribe pro as well

I've never been blocked with various VPN's & Ublock Origin & at moment OK with Proton (famous last words)

The first time I got the popup was yesterday using Brave.

YouTube Premium is $14 (US) and includes Music Premium, which is not too bad of a deal itself. However, when you factor in all the subscriptions for streaming services that people pay for to watch just a few shows on, it makes less sense as it adds up quickly.

I don't have this on MS Edge with AdGuard or Firefox with uBlock Origin, both work flawlessly.

Today's world is becoming life by subscription. The greedy bastards will take everything they can.

Yeah, it's crazy. It was all about "cut the cord" years ago. Now it's more of "Exclusive only on [Name Service]"

I really don't think people understand how much they truly spend on things in a 12-month period on a monthly basis. $7 here, $14 there, and just keeps on going and it adds up.

I rarely go to Youtube, maybe once a month, I am using UBO and have not seen any blockages.

 

[BulletKnowledge]

No problem to go youtube but one friend can use any browser with any ad blocker(built-in or extension) for the same result the pop up to disable ad blocker show up.
