Revisiting YouTube's Anti-Ad blocker Message (beehaw.org)

The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

Try the libredirect extension to automatically redirect from YouTube to Invidious instances which don't have any ads. https://libredirect.github.io/

Note you may need to switch instances from time to time becauses these Instances are getting blocked from YouTube.

By default, the extension will redirect many services to alternatives (Twitter, Reddit, Quora, Translate, ...). Tweak the extension settings if you only want to use YouTube redirect.
