This issue is intended to collect information about YouTube ads that Ghostery fails to block. Since it is often hard to reproduce, feel free to comment with any observation that you think might help us. Since YouTube is a moving target, this ticket is intended to stay open.

Since Ghostery uses community block lists, it is also worth checking the discussion ticket that uBlock Origin maintains. It is possible that you see the same problem discussed there, since Ghostery also the block lists from the uBlock Origin project. If so, please let us know. If the same problem can be reproduced on both extension, the solution may be to improve the shared rules in the community lists.

Thanks for your help!

@chrmod Oops.. sorry forgot to add it. It is on FF 124.0 MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1 M2 Ghostery 8.12.7 What I noticed as well: video starts with an ad. When I refresh immediately the original video (re)starts without an ad. Although somewhere during it I may get an ad. But not consistently. Some videos don't serve ads (but I am not sure if that maybe controlled by the channel itself).

With the latest adblocker list update all youtube ads should be blocked again.

Ads can be reproduced with the following steps:

  1. Clear cookies
  2. Go to a YouTube channel with a featured video. For example: https://www.youtube.com/@AnahataOfficial/featured

Affects all platforms that I tested (both Ghostery 8 and 10).
