@MGPelec @Opius134 Where can I find the script of V3.8?

c22dev commented 1 month ago

You can find the script of 3.8 right here: https://github.com/TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing/releases/download/v3.8/Youtube-Ad-blocker-Reminder-Remover.user.js

To disable updates, you can edit the JS and change the following:

From this

const updateCheck = true;

To this

const updateCheck = false;

You could edit this either in your Userscripts extension text editor (if it has one) or in anything like TextEdit or Notepad.

If you have some issues editing the file, use the edited version from my gist here:

I also downgraded to 3.8 and it seems more stable than 5.5. I was hearing the audio from the ad playing in the background of the video. I would have to reload the video a couple of times to get it to play without the ads. It would skip the ads in the middle of videos fine; it was just at the beginning of the video I saw all the issues.

Why 3.8...? 5.3 works fine. I posted a guide on downgrading to it almost 3 days ago...

It does work.
I've been using it since 5.4 was released and haven't seen a single ad.

The problem you're describing has happened with multiple other versions of RAT, even before 5.0 came out. I've experienced them, and it usually happens after a Chrome update.
The problem goes away quickly.

Others have reported the same thing.

TheEngiNerd70 commented 1 month ago

All,

If/when you manually change versions of RAT, you MUST restart your browser to get the changes to take effect. I have done this with both 3.8 and 5.3 downgrades (@GroggyOtter Thanks for the instructions!! 👍 ), I see no more ads with YT for both versions.

It looks like for 5.3 it fast forwards through the ads; with 3.8 it seems to just skip them. I wonder if the ads that are fast-forwarded, does the content creator get credit for the ad being watched? If they can get credit for the ad AND I don't have to watch it, for me, it's a win-win! 😃

This breaks the ad blocker and get detected (atleast for me)

c22dev commented 1 month ago

Yeah, even normal script is broken for me…
