[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz [S] 33 points 2 years ago (6 children) I’m 95% sure it’s a combination of Linux + Firefox + uBlock Origin and YouTube is trying to make me get rid of all three of those. Not gonna happen. I mean, I could try disabling uBlock Origin, but either way I don’t get to see content, so what’s the point? 🥲 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] feef@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) I have ff and ublock on windows and every now and then YouTube videos have issues like stopping playing and not recovering (where an ad would play). Only fix is to hard refresh the page. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago That's one of their antiAdBlock features, actually, and it's working as designed. Hard refresh doesn't work for me. I stopped using yt site on desktop, and only use freetube now. If a video doesn't play on that, I yt-dlp it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Sometimes hard refresh wasn't enough and I had to actually quit firefox (which also cleared cookies) and try again. Doesn't happen too often tho. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz [S] 1 point 2 years ago Each month I lean more towards the notion that FF devs are retarded. Why do you have to close the browser to clear the cookies rather than having a hard refresh do that? permalink fedilink source parent [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago I have Firefox and ublock and watch an ungodly amount of YT, no issues. permalink fedilink source parent [–] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 2 years ago I'm having no problem with YouTube using Firefox and uBlock on Android permalink fedilink source parent [–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Another one with Linux + FF + uB-O here, and I also don't have problems with Youtube. But they broke uB-O recently, maybe you need to upgrade it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 years ago Pretty sure YouTube hates uBlock Origin. BUt I will keep using it forever. f* google permalink fedilink source parent [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I would use Newpipe. On mobile you can get it from F-droid and on desktop you can use Waydroid if you are on Linux. Just a side note but I would use there F-droid repo over F-droid main permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Pipepipe is Newpipe with sponsorblock btw. permalink fedilink source parent
