I got the warning yesterday and then nothing happened. They just threatened me and then didn’t follow through.
After scrolling for a bit on Lemmy I saw a post that Grayjay had a desktop app now too. No need for ad blockers etc. Just use Grayjay! It’s awesome! (no yt shorts cancer for example, and multi platform support so not just yt) Grayjay.app
Just tried Grayjay on desktop last night. Syncing with mobile is awesome.
But on desktop, I’ll continue to use freetube because i can block channels (or even content by keyword) from showing up on my feed.
If you only watch content that you’re sibscribed to, then this shouldn’t even be a concern.
So what, Google? You violate my privacy, I violate your terms of service, I’d say we’re even.
I don’t think they can actually have an ad blocker installed on your machine be a violation of their terms of service. It’s on your device. It’s like Ford would say driving one of their models with a green shirt is a violation of their terms of service. What’s next, your camera will be monitored by Google and you violate their terms of service if you turn your head away whenever an ad is playing? Well, yeah, they wanted to pause ads when your eyes would turn away from the screen, so they really are that evil.
Google was such a nice company at first, now it’s pure evil. Just like all the other mega corps. Open source and Piracy is the future.
If you are a little experienced and know how to deal with Docker, you could self-host Invidious yourself on your local PC or laptop. Works fine for me for multiple months.
Disable Ublock filters - Quick Fixes
happened to me this morning. purge your ublock filter cache and all is good
I haven’t had to do much more than reload a page after getting this. Ublock, noscript, privacy badger on firefox. I think the unlock folks work long and hard at this. Makes me want to give them money.
Sponsorblock will make up for the lost time and save you even more time.
Give it a day or two
Wasn’t Annie always singing about tomorrow?
lol its already fixed for me
Tomorrow never comes.
People have already said how to fix this, but I’ll add this different piece of advice: start using FreeTube.
Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide
They’re literally giving us more reasons to use an ad blocker.
They caught me too on Firefox!
Since Peertube is soaring to new heights with the 7.0 redesign and the app release, I would say now is a good time to switch:
Where? Lemme VPN there and see it for myself. I’m in USA and uBlock Origin still works. (Android, Fennec)
Seems weirdly intermittent. I just ignored it and it still seems to be working. I just couldn’t play certain specific videos in certain windows. Once I opened it in a new window it seems to work, and now I know the settings I need to tweak
It’s account/fingerprint-based, not location. YouTube will issue you 3 of these warning messages within a certain time frame if you access the site with adblock. The third message is the one OP posted, where the video player is disabled.
Already back
Yep lots of these are popping up today. Wonder if google is going to start going hard on this.
