That's hard for a DNS server, which is pretty much all a pihole is. It's not like a browser ad blocker that selectively blocks.
I used ad-blocker on my android box and I get used to no ads, now if I use standard Youtube app the ads are just so annoying that I immediately shut it down.
I'm hoping Rumble/Odysee will catch up or get more popular with this restriction.
Maybe I can change DNS to Russia if it goes widespread if that works.
If I have to put up with ads then I'll seriously reduce my usage, hopefully that will hit them in the pocket and they will reconsider.
what got censored?
"goyim shut it down" meme you can see in Google.
seems like non-offensive classics are offensive to some people.
Actually I used ad-block on LEB/LET too
I hope there are still ways to bypass it... Unless they start baking it into the "free" videos, ublock origin should have ways around it.
"And it all comes as Google wrestles with the handling of ad and content blockers in Chrome; the web giant is trying to move the browser extensions to a new API, dubbed Manifest v3, that protects users from malicious add-ons but may limit the effectiveness of blockers."
So Google will try to prevent ad-blocking extensions in Chrome! MS spyware Windows yesterday stopped me runing Produkey to find out what my license key for windows was, kept stopping it from running and then deleteing the file without asking me.
This software is getting more and more intrusive which is getting on my nerves. I paid for MS spyware Windoze and other programs so how dare you stop me running them!
Hey, quick question, what is google's biggest earner? You say "ads"? You get 100 points!
Now, who owns youtube? You say "google"? Another 100 points!
Now tell me, why would a company that makes it's money from ads will ALLOW people using it's OWN browser to block said ads on a platform they OWN?
I'm using Firefox for a while, so good luck to those sticking to chrome.
You paid for 1 windows license. Only OEMs gets the option to customize the windows spyware/phone-home nature. Single users like you and me are not worth the trouble. So just take the money and keep our data too.
It's not just Chrome browser, many other browsers use the Chrome engine.
Not firefox. And as per my list, only firefox does NOT use chromium and supports addons.
Sure, but the result are still missing components, no matter why they couldn't be loaded.
They can be "missing" but as far as the computer sees it. is that the ad just didn't load due to slow internet.
I'm using Youtube Premium (Family Plan), shared with 4 other friends. Costing around 110k IDR or 7.5 USD monthly. I asked my 4 friends to pay around 2 USD a month. Bam... I paid literally nothing
But the "Computer" can have a program running that checks for missing components and refuse to deliver the requested content in this case.
That's how adblockers are identified by websites.....
Another long-time Firefox user, no chromes here.
Besides that uBlock Origin author says straightforwardly that uBlock Origin works best on Firefox - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
Revanced still works apparently. You can just spoof clients.
Or then go the long way around for permanent solution lol.

This is absolute overkill but works pretty well. (Scroll to the bottom).
You have to pay for everything now day YouTube, Twitter it goes on
10 to 30 second ads are not a big deal for me - I guess we are becoming more impatient as technology becomes faster.
Ad frequency intensifies depending on video and country you are in. In Sweden, for example, it is almost unbearable to watch videos with 100k+ views. Ads are pumping like crazy every 10 - 15 minutes. I use Sweden vpn, and their language is sooo attrocious in those ads, I just can't stand.
@LTniger ah thanks for explaining, that does sound annoying I guess, I don't use a VPN so didn't think about the language issues you mentioned
you can try a moldova or albania vpn server if those are available. they shouldnt have ads either, as well as russia

Mod edit (angstrom): removed. (Please don't do this)
Maybe I should say my region is RUssia on my Roku player too - on free content/movies there is 2-3 mins of adverts every 10-15 mins.
Which browser do you run?
No wait, don't answer THAT question. Rather, which company sits at the standard committee for HTML and ecmascript?
Answer is: you're f*cked.
If I was a homeless bum, I would still have gotten YouTube Premium. It's worth every penny.
2 euros with Turkish vpn what more do you want.
Yeah. This surely would increase monthly expenses
Cost of living crisis over here dude, gas & elecric are up +300%, food up +20%, wages are going down-5% and now they want me to pay for youtube??? WTF!
Everyone can afford it. Instead of buying a coffee for 1 euro, I get YouTube Premium.
Yes, people are so flush with money and have so much free time that they are going on strike all over Europe and UK for fun times. Have you see what is going on in France?
This is the worst time for crap like this. These has been a massive upward wealth transfer already to the likes of Google, Bezos and M$ during Covid to the tune of billions of pounds (much of it taxpayer money) and the working class/middle class have got and are getting poorer. And right at this time these shysters want to screw the common people even harder with netflix ads/price increases and now this. This is the time when you need free entertainment to take your mind off your troubles, it's not the time to be deprived to give up coffee and food for the further enrichment of Epsteins friend Bill Gates or Bezos or Google.
And it's not 1 euro as you claim!
From Google:
How much is YouTube Premium uk?
£11.99 per month
YouTube Premium costs £11.99 per month
That's £144 (~$160)/year!
youtube does that and i stop watching youtube, simple.
i decide who i support.
