YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again::YouTube users have noticed annoying delays and some features disabled when using ad blockers.
My biggest issue is circumventing ads on smart TV apps, 99% of my YT viewing is on a TV.
I disabled all my adblockers except for adnauseam with strict blocking and now youtube is running really fast.
Adnauseam is the best because it clicks all the ads it blocks, making the anti-adblock bullshit think you’re clicking on ads.
Getting it on a chromium based browser is a little bit of a chore, but it’s well worth it, because no other adblocker works consistently
Still works fine with uBlock origin.
The only issue I have with YouTube is that while using an Ad blocker it doesn’t track videos I have already seen in my subscriptions.
So it will tell me that I didn’t watch a video I just watched.
A small price to pay for an ad free experience but a bit annoying still.
If your history isn’t working, it’s probably because you’re blocking s.youtube.com. If you whitelist that, history should work again.
It’s baffling to me, how many people complain about YouTube- and continue to use YouTube. At this rate, they could murder your families and you’d still give them business.
JUST STOP USING YOUTUBE.
“Just stop buying food from the only place that sells food you like.”
YouTube isn’t life sustaining. Maybe start with getting that understood.
