Oh no! Anyway....

continues using an AdBlocker

[–] Rick 13 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Not when they disable ad blockers like twitch

[–] OFS_Razgriz 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My AdBlocker still works on twitch, you just have to do some fanaegling with user scripts.

[–] Rick 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really? How do you do it? I'm assuming you use ublock origin

[–] OFS_Razgriz 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Yes. You can block ads by creating a special script, you can find the info on how to do that at the end of this GitHub ticket but I'll paste it here too.

  1. Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)

  2. Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).

  3. Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears.

  4. Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset to the URL https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/vaft/vaft-ublock-origin.js

Then just disable and reenable uBlock to refresh it and you should be good to go.

Thanks, now I can safely check out twitch. I see links to there pop-up from time to time.

[–] Rick 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holy shit thank you!

[–] OFS_Razgriz 1 points 2 years ago

It ain't much but it's honest work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, this is awesome. Thank you for sharing this, will add this to my ublock :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

In that moment, I will use piped. If piped goes down, I will use nebula. Anything over paying youtube.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Then I won't use youtube since the content is not really worth watching ads or paying for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

There are still alternative frontends like piped.video that don't show ads

[–] LemmyKnow 1 points 2 years ago

I think website developers and ad block developers will be in a continual back and forth. Websites trying to find ways to disable ad blockers and ad blockers trying to find ways around them so they could continue blocking ads.

[–] Shelbyeileen 1 points 11 months ago

This aged as expected 😓

[–] HolyDriver 4 points 2 years ago

I use adblocker in Firefox mobile. Noticed YouTube keeps downgrading the quality on every video load even tho higher quality is set to auto
