Adblock issue with Youtube

[wegetit]

Youtube still considers this addon as a adblocker even when turned off for the website.

I have tried turning off just ads, as well as all malware and scam options on the youtube.com website.

I know this will sound counterproductive since I am asking you to add another ad blocker Ublock Origin.

Install ublock origin and enable the following filters in settings.

See if the warnings stop.

Hey thanks for the reply!

I did actually have ublock downloaded while this issue occured. However, the issue with malwarebytes being flagged as an adblocker on youtube while being turned off for the website persists with or without uBlock.

I have both BG and ublock origin installed and on and no issue with youtube.

Did you add the filters I suggested?

I tried the filters you suggested - it still shows me this page.

Please get us some logs to see what's going on.

Also, please note this is a big issue and Google is actively attempting to prevent ALL content blocking. As such it will probably continue to be an ongoing battle. So, your mileage may vary as they say.

 

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system.
You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

• Please rename FRST.EXE or FRST64.EXE to FRSTEnglish.exe
• After renaming the file right-click over FRSTEnglish.exe and select "Run as administrator"
• When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer
• Make sure there is a check mark in the Addition.txt check box
• Press the Scan button.
• It will make a log FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. Please attach both logs to your next reply.

 

Thank you

These don't affect youtube warnings at all. Just use the default lists. update them regularly.

Thanks for replying.

I'm on a mac, not windows, what should I do?

Adding YouTube to your allow list should solve this issue. If that doesn't solve your issue, do the following:

● Review your other ad blocking extensions you have installed and ensure they are disabled on youtube.com (or disable the conflicting extension).

• Ensure it is disabled in MWAC as well (it should automatically do it, but it's worth checking).

● Clear your browser cache and cookies. This may help remove any leftover ads or trackers that your ad blocker missed.

Thanks! I think that's done the job!
