Where the fuck did you find that info out?
Don't be stupid, they will not ban you from YouTube from using a fucking adblocker.
I reckon they'd open the door for some class-action lawsuits if they did something as stupid as that.

I don't see any connection to chromium or their api. I suggest glasses and a quick break to read the article again. 😉

Yes, you can't see anything because you're not a developer and you don't understand how it works and what I'm saying, so I won't explain anything to you. It's just that chromium blocks the web_request api, if you don't know what it is and what it's for, it's useless for you to comment on anything.

[CrazyWolf13]

I am on the way to become a developer and I indeed know what Chromium and their api is and mostly how they work, so I am interested in this topic. Otherwise I wouldn't have made this post.

Note: its not this add-on cause the problem, but lets go deep

@LukeSaward1 @Dark3n89
Im glad to see how to explain this.

I saw it today, It make a little note windows saids "seems you enable a adblocker balabala, pls disable and use YouTube Premium to disable ad"

[CrazyWolf13]

Youtube finally rolled out to a big part of the world, @LukeSaward1 @Dark3n89 I'm waiting for an explanation to your comments above.

[CrazyWolf13]

@maximtop FYI after clicking allow ads there was a small iframe like 10x10cm rendered on top of the video to some google domain, I guess to test for adblocker?

I repeat again what I said, you must not have the update enabled, all browsers work on the basis of chromium. Google disabled access to web_request and now it is very easy to defend against ad blockers.

A very easy way is to install the standalone version of google chrome, everything works perfectly, only google is not integrated inside, you will have to log in manually everywhere, automatic login will not work.

I have an online and an offline version of the old chrome with my own blockers that I'm working on + extensions: ghostery (with settings inside), old version of adguard.

My primary script block all advertising web_requests, even before loading.

Seems pretty neat, is there a way to implement this to opera gx?

[CrazyWolf13]

exact url which youtube seems to test if there are no adblockers is
"fundingchoices.google.com"

Hope this is helpful for anyone.

Here is lot of testing and non testing items, here is my list of clear items

Looks great, can this be merged into AdblockExtra when complete?

[Yuki2718]

Auto-clicking of the skip button should now be removed as yt detects this.

If you see any ADS all is wrong lol, star from begin :D

[Yuki2718]

I am a filter maintainer of AdGuard filters who address all these youtube staff. I know the current filters get rid of ads well; nevertheless, auto-click which was originally implmented as fallback should be deactivated as now it causes detection.

@Yuki2718 what about a different approach? See this one: https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator

Okay great.
Yeah the current one seems to work quite well, if adguard is disabled and adguard extra is enabled. Except for some seonds blackscreen on videos. Probably because of instant skip?

[Yuki2718]

This method of skipping by x10 playback rate is currently not detected (while the skipping by FadBlock/ABP is detected if yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.ab_pl_man is true).
