New youtube ads not blocked #7519

Updating "uBlock filters" list does not help? |
|
didn't help yet (tried updating first) and I only noticed it on those two videos so far. Like I said, no Ads on basically any other videos I've watched today |
|
I have the same issue on some videos. |
|
Could you tell me what you need me to do if I encounter another Ad? I've attached two Network Monitor HAR Files and hope this helps. |
|
If you updated "uBlock filters" in lates ~20 hours and still dont' have "Skip ad" button, add |
|
I deleted uBlock from addons, reopen firefox and install uBlock again. No ads for over 1 day so I think it's a success |
|
That does not update the filters. To update the filters you must click "Purge all caches" and then "update now". |
|
OK, now I've also done this. Thank you for the advice |
|
Try adding to My filters: This should block video ads in new tabs. |
The above seems to have worked for me. doesn't seem to do anything. I'll further watch the issue and report back on any new ads popping up :) Thanks! |
|
If someone is still having issues they could try: dhowe/AdNauseam@e6682bb |

Very old:
|
|
OK, Maybe some other variant of this filter will work. Replace Like this: |
|
Also, be sure you do not have another similar-purposed content blocker (ABP, AdBlock, AdGuard, etc.) along uBO; using more than one similar-purposed content blocker will always cause issues -- uBO is meant to perform optimally on its own. |
|
I'm also having the same issue on Chrome. It displays a grey overlay with a skip button in the lower right corner, but doesn't actually play the ad. |

@mlindner |
|
Came here to report the same issue (on firefox). Ads are not blocked on youtube. I can also reproduce the issue with the 2 links posted by OP. |
|
IMO latest
|
|
This video is also good for testing: |
|
Do you see ads after opening new tab or when navigating in YT (with red progress bar on top)? |

And one uses Fx 56. @BogudanPro are you on uBO legacy?
Tons of issues on AdGuard tracker (it's hard to track them all), but AFAIK uBO does not have problems with "error occured" (uBO can have it for few seconds max) and they still have.
Without Hopefully 1.28 with wildcards will fix more, but still it only fixes cases where ad info is downloaded by XHR - this is probably only the case when people navigate to video inside YT page.
Or complain about not seeing videos at all.
What I meant, some people don't have |
|
Ok well you have been dealing with the Youtube issue more than I did, so it's best for me to not interfere at least until I invest as much time in this as you did. Feel free to remove the filter I added if you think it makes things worst, I don't have the same insights as you have. It seems what's really missing at this point is users suffering the ads and with minimal technical skills thoroughly collaborating with us to get to the bottom of this. |
|
I will wait for feedback. There is always a chance I was mislead or lost in contradicting cases.
👍 I will probably add json-prune with wildcards enclosed inside |
@gwarser, on home pc: yes, uBO 1.16.4.18 legacy. Not sure about PC where i saw ads... |
|
To chime in with some more info in case it matters: I'm using uBlock Origin v1.18.6 on waterfox classic 2020.06.
I'd love to help solve this in any way that I can. What should I do if I do see an ad? Is there some info I can collect to help you track this down? Thanks! :) |

Then think it's this 3 issues: |
|
On legacy builds you can try |
|
Is there any fix for this issue? Youtube ads not blocked. |
did you update uBO filters ? |
|
Is it fixed with latest update @sharpaper ? |
|
Updating uBO filters doesn't help, still have the same issue. On many videos YouTube Ads aren't blocked. 1.27.10 |
|
I'm getting ads on youtube (Firefox 78.0.2 64bit, uBlock Origin 1.28.0). I can reproduce the issue with the links provided. Just tried on Google Chrome ( 64bit, v83.0.4103.116, uBlock 1.27.10) and can also reproduce. |
|
@ryanbr Under "Filter lists" I've clicked "Purge caches" and then "Update now". Still seeing ads. |
|
I'm now very confident that is working great. I've watched maybe 50 youtube videos since adding it. No ads, no errors. |
|
To be fair, I do have noticed a lot fewer ads. The links reported in the ticket do not show any ad anymore. Occasionally (rarely) one shows up though, or I see a 15-seconds whitescreen with the "Skip ad >" button. But overall I think it's working again. Thanks for fixing this. |
|
On computer where i've seen ads was FF 56 with uBO 1.13 legacy. As i mentioned before, rule helped to get rid of ads. |
|
So use too old version, try override Firefox add-on signing requirement (verification): https://web.archive.org/web/20180809075244/http://www.largrizzly.net/firefox.html or
If any people don't try publish compatible |
|
Actually, at the moment, the difference is that there is a white screen with "Skip Ads" button. Should it be like it's now? I mean, before there were no white screens, no ads, we could directly watch the video.
|
|
fixes these blank ads without causing any issues for me. |
|
I can confirm there is no more white screen with the filter given by @Toastbroti. It works fine for me. I've tested with the two given links in the first post. Without the filter, there is always a white screen with the "Skip Ads" button. With the filter, the video starts directly. |
|
And no break now homepage (only blank boxes on background)? |
It doesn't cause any issues |
Here's why it was removed from the filter list #7519 (comment) Some people are still complaining |
|

URL(s) where the issue occurs
Describe the issue
Certain videos on youtube seem to implement a new way of displaying ads - those ads are not being blocked by uBlock Origin at the Moment. The Channels around LTT seem to use this new method.
