A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm on FF. Forgot that detail. Also forgot I can edit the title. Which I have done, so the message above this made sense at the time it was written (for anyone who came in late).
Oof, well I don't like the sound of this at all. Looks like my days of using YouTube might be numbered.
If these sites keep enshittifying at this rapid pace, I may be forced to touch grass before my time is up
Never had a single issue on FF. Make sure you open the UBO settings page, uncheck all the filter (basically set it to its default settings) the refresh.
That worked last round but not this time, unfortunately. I'm kicking the tires on LibRedirect currently.
Did you purge and update your filters?
Note: I'm not talking about turning filters off then back on, I'm talking about updating the version of each filter itself.
Look up YouTube enhancer extension. It has a trick, too. I don't remember exactly what it is, but I read it here somewhere on Lemmy where you add a script of some sort to YouTube enhancer and it blocks that YouTube bullshit message.
I've been going through this every now and then with Firefox and uBlock. It feels like maybe it's in-between Youtube making their change and uBlock catching up. I'll go through the purge process but will still be blocked. Check back the next day and videos play fine with ads blocked.
My workaround in that in-between time is either open up a private browser (with ublock turned on for private browsing), watching it not logged in. Or I paste the video to a hidden discord channel I have on my server and watch that way (unless the video disables embedding). It's always worked for me those two ways.
