Hello

Bug in the extension

When the extension Malware browser guard is activated, in Youtube, the first video of the list doesn't appear (replaced by blank)

Can you fix it, please, thanks

[Pierre771]

I have just tried the beta (manifest V3)

The bug is fixed in that version

I spoke too early : in Chrome, in my Linux machine, the beta has the bug too

In fact it seems it eliminates the sponsorized videos. Is it on purpose and is it normal he has the power to eliminate vieos ?

If you refer to this one then yes, it is normal

This is with browser guard doing the job it is supposed to.

Thanks for your answer ! Is this feature documented anywhere ? It seems nobody knows it apart from you !

Browser guard blocks AD's and that first "video" is an AD. No additional documentation is needed.

That's right. However it's not clear.

What is an "annoying ad" ? Could it replace an ad blocking extension ? Anyway it seems Youtube, which forbids ad blocking extensions, doesn't recognize it as an ad blocking extension. It's not possible to desactivate it for a site as that kind of extension (ublock origin and others)

All ad's are annoying to most or they would not use extensions like Browser Guard and Ublock Origin.

Not completely. That is why many use Ublock Origin with it.

YouTube is just getting greedy.

Yes it is but users are reporting that doing it is not stopping the warnings from YouTube.

Hi

The beta version no longer eliminates the 'sponsored videos'. The stable version still do it. Edge and Chrome. In Edge the stable version comes from the Microsoft extensions store
