Hey everyone,

since YouTube started annoying us with their “disable ad blocker” thing, I managed to get rid of it by uBlock Origin and a Tampermonkey script. Yet, the stupid popup is back. To everyone who’s gotten rid of it until now: What did you do? Can you point me to the resources you used? It’s annoying!

    It’s all FOSS. Whoever gets doubts about the devs can check the source or have it checked by experts. They sell out or die? Switch to other frontends or forks. I’d never trust any dev blindly, but if I can choose between these ones and Google… well.

      A compiled app is not FOSS unless you compile it yourself, which, shock of shocks, means need to waste time with scripts and stuff. Sorry, but you are making excuses.

          Again, you assume things and argue against what I never said. My comment was about easy is a trap. Nothing more. Nothing less. Kindly take your posturing and sit upon it.

            Sure, a userscript is one way of solving the issue. But native clients with built-in adblock are another, legitimate way of doing the exact same thing. I really don’t understand your issue with FOSS YouTube clients like FreeTube, NewPipe and LibreTube.

              A: I never suggested anything remotely counter to adblock aps. I simply stated that you must understand you are trusting the dev.

              B: Never stated any issue with any of those nor anything else.

              C: Quit assuming intent, read what was actually written, and you may learn to understand what is being said.
