    Folks I just teh standard AdBlock Plus extension on my Chrome internet browser. Normally ads load up and as soon as they load it goes to my video. Now today, it won't display the video and I get this message.



    How do I go back to not having to deal with ads? Am I stuck? This only started happening today. Thank you for everyone who helps.

    Just don't log in.. gone.

    Log out, clear cookies, no ads, no blocker detection.

    Or use Firefox like a normal person

    Youtube seems to be fighting back harder atm. In FF is still taking 5 ot 10 seconds to skip the ads but stills play video and I'm not getting ads in middle of videos. Be nice if ab+ got their hands off their dicks soon, else I'ma find a new adblocker I guess.

    AB+ been the shit for time now an all

    uBlock Origin still seems to work.

    Brave Browser might be another option.

    Use a recently updated YouTube ad blocker, instead of AdBlock.

    Last hour or so its even starting to play the ads, short ads are even playing completely before the adblock kicks in.

    What was that other one again, uBlock?

    They have a 2 months free sub deal right now then $13.95 a month thereafter. Well worth the coin if you watch a lot of youtube.

    Bizarre to say but after I passed my math exam, the YouTube ad block block walls ceased.

    No it's not like that at all.

    Though I do understand $14 is 2 weeks pay for you.

    I'm not paying for summing that adblock gives me for free. And just as with adblock anyway, YT premium isn't going to skip all the content providers own ads they're putting in more and more now. And getting more creative so as to make it harder to skip them too might I add.

    Noticing they don't keep the text on the screen to the end of the ad now so as to make it harder to see where the ad ends by hovering the timeline. And can't remember the last time I saw one of those little gaps in the timeline showing where the ad ends. They wising up lol

    I tried that but some are so long now you pass the point where the video has loaded and you get stuck buffering lol

    My guess is the ad agencies are figuring this shit out and directing them to take measures against it to ensure their ads get watched.
