@neauoire Did you recently empty the cache and refresh its lists? I saw several people talking about it. @musicmatze I use uBlock Origin 1.52.2, how do I clear cache? Purge All Caches under Filter List? @neauoire TBH I don't actually know, because I did not yet have the issue so I did not yet try out that. @neauoire @musicmatze there's a little tutorial on the procedure on the extension's reddit that worked for me @neauoire yeah, if you already use ublock, then in it's settings - Purge all caches, and then Update now. Also check out piped as an alternative to invidious (most of the times it works better for me personally) - https://piped.kavin.rocks/ @vacuumbeef the warning is still there, do I need to close firefox or should it work right off? @neauoire This is outrageous, but also misunderstands (purposely) how the web works: my browser asks your web server what makes up the web page, you send me the recipe to the web page, i chose to render what i want out of that. I'm under no obligation to download *everything* that's in the recipe, sorry. It's your problem if your business model relies on me not checking what's in the recipe and blindly downloading anything in it. @neauoire Apparently the Firefox version of uBlock is the most effective at evading this. Clearing the uBlock cache daily is recommended since they're in a arms race with YouTube to update their evasion code. YouTube is changing their code several times a day. We'll see how long that lasts; Twitch seems to have tech that pretty effectively works around most adblockers. @neauoire Personally I'm starting to avoid YouTube altogether. For a while I was cross-posting my videos to archive.org, PeerTube and YouTube. Guess I'm down to 2 now. @neauoire For me it would be yt-dlp full-time, because I already wrote a python script, which uses it, to download videos in the resolution I want. I can create a download list and start downloads anytime I want. It's worth checking it out: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp |
@neauoire ublock origin extension blocks this.
