So im running pihole with ublock on Firefox in Linux. I’ve yet to see this warning. Any reason?

[-] Mudkipology@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

As long as you're using just the pihole YouTube shouldn't be able to detect it. The playback blocker is based on detecting common ad blocker extensions in your web browser.

I was told the other day that pihole doesn't block YouTube ads because they're served from the same server?

[-] Jayemecee@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

From my experience it's different servers, but it might depend on your location. It's the twitch ads that come from the same server as the video stream. Those are harder to block.

[-] Queuewho@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

If you use a YouTube app then yes, the ads don't seem to be able to be blocked. Browser based YouTube ads still seem to be able to be blocked by pihole

Pi Hole for me blocked some YT ads but not all. YMMV based on the block list you use. I didn't get very aggressive but still killed most page ads.

Same setup, also have not seen the popup

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ditto, except Win10. Never see warnings.

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm not using pihole myself and just rely on uBlock Origin. I should probably set it up sometime.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It’s surprisingly easy

Also haven't seen any ads all this time but not because of pihole. I'm guessing it's because I also have DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials and Privacy Badger installed as they block requests from "googleads.g.doubleclick.net"

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, my pihole regularly blocks those. I have over a million domains on my adlist

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Youtube is using scripts on the webpage that detect in-browser adblockers only.

[-] elDalvini@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

I have the exact same setup and also didn't get the warning yet. Maybe pihole stops the AdBlock detection?

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That would be cool. I mean maybe they use telemetry to determine if you’re using an adblocker and the pihole blocks that?
