Youtube can disable your adblock it seems.

natr0n · Jul 28, 2017

I was binge watching today and one video randomly stopped and a video ad popped open full screen.
I minimized it to find my ublock origin was disabled only on that tab.

Very odd indeed.

Just a heads up.
Browser used: Firefox 55.0b12 (64-bit)

Note before anyone says you might have turned it off mistakenly. Not possible as it requires 2 clicks in different spots to disable.

don't use the new youtube experience they launched.

prolly some hinky code.

If thats true and the page you were on actually did disable it for you, report it to mozilla and get better or additional blocking.

post the link too.

is that all? add Noscript and Privacy Badger (EFF)

then get rid of adblock and adblocker

de.das.dude · Jul 28, 2017

many ad blockers have been bought out it seems. by default, they are allowing ads on youtube now.

OneMoar · Jul 28, 2017

no youtube changed the policy some months ago if it detects a ad-blocker it hard-codes a ad into the video

amusingly this type of behavior is exactly why people use ad block

here is the work around

Are you sure that works? The thread you linked to is 2 years old.

Beside Ublock I use custom host files...

OneMoar · Jul 28, 2017

removing the app should resolve the issue
if it doesn't open a new ticket

jboydgolfer · Jul 28, 2017

I'm still on what I am pretty sure is my 14th month with no commercials on YouTube in anyway shape or form it at least in the video itself I have noticed annotations will not turn off even when I go into settings, as well as add banners in the description section underneath the videos

If I recall correctly I only use ad block & ad block plus with Mozilla

OneMoar · Jul 28, 2017

having the youtube-app installed is what enabled youtube todo the ad-jacking

natr0n · Jul 28, 2017

I have no app installed. I'm using windows 10 ltsb has no form of app support. Bare bones

I got to update my mvps host blocker perhaps been a while.

This sounds like the holy grail. I see those embedded add. We'll have to work on this one.

Youtube cannot "hardcode ads" that would imply they modified uploaded videos. This simply isnt true and they cannot do that for legal reasons.

I dont see any ads on youtube despite being forced to have a google account for adult tagged content.

It was only one video that I've ever seen an ad on. I'm gonna try to find that channel so you guys can see if it happens for you.

I'll see clickable links in the video for Best Buy or other stores as well as a weird left and right scrolling ad window that's in the description

*EDIT*
i tried and wasnt able to get the scroll bar ad i got earlier....not sure why that would be.

Its this guys channel, it seems to have particularly aggressive or creative ads

I'd say check your white lists. You might have allowed that he is using. If he is using code to show ads thats grounds to report for malicious content and should be reported and removed.

Then again he could be like other techy youtubers and really did create videos with pre-recorded advertising from sponsors. Which looks like what he did.

it seems like it may only come in his Hindi language Videos..i must have played 30 of his vids and nothing , until i accidentally clicked this one in Hindi, since i speak VERY few words in Hindi, this shouldnt be an issue

I have never seen ads like this one b4

Nuckles56 · Jul 28, 2017

I had no issues with ads on the Hindi videos and I tried about 20 (firefox x64 v54.0.1, Privacy badger, ublock and adblock ) so maybe you just got unlucky

I get no ads on that video either. There are some Twitter overlays but nothing clickable. :confused:

Nothing like in your screen shot either.

This is beginning to sound like ublock origin is worth trying. I'm currently on Adblock Plus.

It seemed to me that the Adblock's all versions such as Adblock ,Adblock +, and the likes sold out to Corporations to allow certain ads and that is why I switched to Ublock Origin and have not had any ads I use FF.

Yes, they've got this "safe ads" program where companies can pay them to white list their ads if they conform ABP's non-intrusiveness rules. Controversial and open to corruption, but great in principle as an independent regulator would be a good idea.

It could be that not so unintrusive ads can also appear maybe...
