YouTube is thinking that this is blocking ads
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Hello!
I'm really liking how this browser extension works, and it definitely helps out since YouTube is trying to crack down on ad blockers.
However, lately I'm noticing that sometimes, YouTube will think that AdBlitz is trying to block ads instead of speeding through them. They've been going harder on ad blockers lately, so their automated bots probably are mistaking AdBlitz for an ad blocker.
@SmeckoGeck46 Can you share a screenshot of same or have you got any mail or like what's the source of this?
Does it occurs only after skipping the ad or in both the cases(skipping and speeding) ?
I feel like it happens after speeding through an ad. It happens sometimes but not always, and I usually deal with this issue by refreshing the page when YouTube thinks I have an ad blocker turned on. After refreshing the page, the browser plugin will speed and skip ads like normal.
I'll send a screenshot the next time it happens.
This is only the second time it happened. last time it happened was a week ago.
It happened after speeding a non-skippable 30sec ad.
After refreshing the page, everything skips/speeds fine again without the ad-block notice.
That's what's happening to me, too!
This is definitely a "sometimes, but not always" thing that happens. I think it has to do with my VPN confusing YouTube.
