Youtube has added a new “feature” that blocks users with adblockers from viewing videos. How do I get around this while still blocking ads? I currently use uBlock Origin on firefox.

uBlock origin > Open the dashboard > Filter lists > Uncheck uBlock Filters > Check uBlock filters
This will force an update & reapply the filters. Usually the first thing you should try when issues like this pop up
Also, there’s an “Unbreak”, install it. And install YTNeuter blocklist.

i just use yt-dlp to download the video these days. i have lots of filters in addition to ublock’s default ones, somehow they’re clashing with youtube and i can’t properly play any video. yt-dlp+mpv is also much faster on my potato system, and makes me save videos.

i always use their latest nightly build, so maybe that helps. also i generally don’t watch youtube a lot, so my ip probably didn’t get flagged yet
