Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

if theres one thing im determined to do, its to never voluntarily see a youtube ad ever. praise ublock and revanced.

Indeed. The uBO team are saints. Is a shame some are only recognised after leaving

Wait you got revanced working again? I couldn't get it to work for my android phone since the last purge less than a year ago.

Are you thinking of Vanced? Revanced has been steady ever since I switched almost a year ago.

[-] Aermis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I am thinking vanced. I think I struggled with getting revanced to work

It was a bit rough in the beginning I admit. I'd recommend giving it another try.

You can look up this thread that has an updated tutorial.

Very easy to follow and should get you going.

You can also get grayjay, which will also condense twitch, nebula, youtube, etc into one consistent feed without trackers or ads. Also it supports the down vote plug-in and 3rd party comment solutions so you can get even more from the app then you can with say revanced which is just the regular old YouTube app with patches.

Last time it stopped working for me I just needed to update revanced manager, make sure the patches were updated on the main screen, and re patch the recommended APK version which had increased. They've done a pretty good job at keeping up
