YouTube detects AdNauseam, blocks playback #2422

Open q-l-p opened 8 months ago

Before commenting on this issue, please make sure that you have installed AdNauseam v3.19.0

My settings:

After a few days, the warning changed to:

I switched to uBlock Origin and for a few days I had no problems. But then, after a PC restart: youTubeBan3 So, this is not AdNauseam-Specific.

kozross commented 7 months ago

Same here.

s-aditya-k commented 7 months ago

getting detected and blocked as well. strict vs active mode seem to have no effect. strangely enough, using uBlock Origin, youtube works fine, with no ads. I've updated all my filters.

sotonin commented 7 months ago

yeah. adnauseum has been blocked since youtube started this thing. Adguard is the only one i've found that isn't blocked.

It seems that this will be addressed when the version that bundles uBO 1.53.0 (ADN v3.18.1b5) is released. Otherwise, using upstream uBlock is required.

mneunomne commented 7 months ago

We have just released v3.19.0 updated with uBO 1.54.0, also with some improvements on the filter lists updates, AdNauseam should be working as uBlock on youtube now.

https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/releases/tag/v3.19.0

Just loaded it in via about:debugging, and it seems to be working so far.

I noticed the AdNauseam webiste's link to download the add-on says "Install AdNauseam v3.19.0", but Firefox is still showing 3.18.0 on the add-on site, and I'm too noob to know how to install it manually. I tried following a guide that involved renaming the zip to xpi and setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to false, but I got a "can't install because not verified" error, so I'm lost.

Does nayone have an estimate for approximately how long will it take for the update to show in Firefox?

mneunomne commented 7 months ago

@eyeonus you are correct, the version showing on the website is the last published version on github, but not on the store. I'll take a look at that.

It usually only takes a few days, sometimes less, for it to be updated on the store.

You want to download a release zip for Firefox, go to about:debugging, go to 'This Firefox', then 'Load temporary extension'. This will let you choose the zip you just downloaded and get it firing.

Note that this will not persist on browser restart.

~This is a temporary issue as we wait for Mozilla to approve the current version of AdNauseam~

AdNauseam v3.19.0 has now been released at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adnauseam/ Please give it a try and report back here...

Report from ungoogled chromium here, tried with a couple videos, this could change after some more hours of testing. Behaviour in chronological order: open video in new tab, unfocused, the video takes like 1 or 2 seconds to charge (probably youtube doing it artificially) without having to be on that tab, the video is able to autoplay as soon as i switch to that tab, exceptional behaviour if i say so.

Thank you and the team so much for what you guys are doing, i really appreciate it.

I have AdNauseam 3.19.0 running on Firefox 120 on Linux. When I open a yt video, the block window flashes on and is removed. The video goes black and refuses to play. However if I disable "Enhancer for Youtube" extension, the video plays.

J-Varty commented 7 months ago

Started getting ads after updating to 3.19.0 for the first time on youtube. Ad plays with audio but with a black screen. Prior to updating to the latest version I was running AdNauseam in tandem with AdBlock on firefox and had no issues. Would be nice to go back to a legacy version.

dhowe commented 7 months ago

This is the first report we've heard of Youtube issues emerging with v3.19.0, please make sure that all filter lists have been updated. Also, prior releases can be found here

~I have been ad-free for a few weeks. However, I am seeing the ad block banner again just now. Filter purge and update do not seem to work. 3.19.0 yes. More people having this now?~ EDIT: Yes, someone had updated the filters while making this comment 👍🏻. now updating and purge is working yet again 🥳

dopescope-png commented 7 months ago

Been ad-free since the 3.19 update but just now got a banner. Purged and updated filters; working again for now.

Pantheris2019 commented 7 months ago

Purging and updating the filters fixes this.

clicky6 commented 6 months ago

AdNauseam is working fine and I today only installed it and while all the other extensions were defeated by this move of YouTube, Adnauseam is still blocking all ads and I am also not seeing the popup when I am logged into YouTube, glad I found it. You can have it on your website, would act great in getting new users who are tired of this move by YouTube.

blazingwinter commented 5 months ago

They're back at it again. Was working fine for quite a few weeks up until now. Any of the temp fixes as described above don't work.

Rynn21 commented 5 months ago

YouTube has started to detect adnauseam since yesterday on Chrome for me. Version 3.19.0. I have all other adblockers disabled for YouTube. No changes have been made since this issue last presented for everyone.

mneunomne commented 5 months ago

Thank you @Rynn21 for reporting. New release updated with latest uBlock should be coming in the new few days.

mneunomne commented 5 months ago

New beta release is out, running tests for release coming soon https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/releases/tag/v3.19.3b1

The beta release is working to block ads again.

haloboyvash commented 5 months ago

I just downloaded the beta release today and for me at least it is not blocking Ads right now. Also updated to latest chrome version 120.0.6099.225.

For me the older release is also working fine. Have you turned on all the three options hide ads, click ads & block malware?

I do have all that enabled. I go to youtube and I get hit with the Ad Blocker ToS black screen. It was working fine and then it stopped today so I removed it and tried out the Beta version and still no dice.

I use LibreWolf and Edge and in both AdNauseam is still working, Are you using any other ad blocker or chrome's own blocking or something like that, If you are then disable them as they will conflict with AdNauseam, then Adnauseam might work.

clicky6 commented 5 months ago

I had a question, when we use AdNauseam since it clicks the ads alongside blocking that means the YouTube creators will also benefit from it right? Compared to using traditional ad blockers. So that means it solves the whole purpose creators will get ad revenue and we will also not have to see ads. Am I right here or not?

Kinda/sorta. The ad companies have attempted to block off counting users using AdNauseam, but it works. I don't think Google likes it either way though, and this is a bit off-topic on the issue.

Sorry but I didn't knew where to ask it then, so I asked it here.

awearyneighbor commented 2 months ago

YouTube has started to detect AdNauseam for me and fully block me from watching videos. I have the most recent version (3.21.0) and the only other extension I have active that interacts with youtube is to return the dislike feature. Don't have any custom filters, just most of the ones from the regular filter list page with the exception of all under Languages and two from Multipurpose (Dan Pollock's and Fanboy+Easylist-Merged)

mneunomne commented 2 months ago

Fixed with latest release https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/releases/tag/v3.21.4
