HACKER Q&A

How are you bypassing YouTube anti-adblocker?


Adblock was fine for me until just recently. Any hacks around it?

UBlock Origin on Firefox has been working for me, I just have to update my filters once a week or so.

uBlock Origin[1] is still working for me, as long as I've been keeping it updated. I use the "Medium Mode"[2] setup, but I don't bother with dynamic filtering. The main thing is enabling almost all of the filter lists, and keeping them updated regularly as well.

There's also Invidious[3], which I think has all YouTube videos, but I don't like the interface quite as much to be honest.

I subscribe to YouTube Premium and strongly recommend it. With my heavy usage, I'm happy to pay each month to avoid ads.

Haven't had to mess with it since I installed it. Requires Tampermonkey extension, or similar.

With anti-anti-adblocker. Also known as an anti-anti-anti-ad-addon.

time spent watching ads vs time spent discovering/installing/managing ad blockers...not worth it
