⚠️ P-L-E-A-S-E, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read and follow all of the instructions first ⚠️

Important

If you are using uBO Lite, read #28707

ALL COMMENTS ABOUT UBO LITE AT THIS THREAD WILL BE REMOVED

For Chromium browsers, please install userscript as instructed at post no.2

Note

After each step, close your current tabs and open new tab to test again or it won't work.

I have created a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings, and confirmed the issue still occurs in that new profile
I updated uBO to the latest versions (1.65.0+)

video tutorial

1-update-uBO.mp4

I removed custom config / reset to defaults. <== This means removing your custom filters (or disabling My filters) and disabling ALL additional lists you have enabled MANUALLY, including the ones listed by uBO. DO NOT disable DEFAULT filter lists. It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults instead.

video tutorials

2-disabling-custom-filter-config.mp4

2-2-reset-to-defaults.mp4

My filter lists are up to date.

click this link then load Youtube in a new tab.

I completely disabled ALL other extensions AND browser's built-in blockers. <== They might interfere with our solutions.

Some browsers with built-in blockers

Opera, Vivaldi, Brave
Edge: Click on "lock" icon at the left of URL bar -> Turn off Tracking Prevention

video tutorial

4-disabling-extensions.mp4

I did not remove any of the default filter lists, or I have verified that the issue was not caused by removing any of the default lists.
I verified the issue does not exist if I turn off uBO.

🟥 When reporting, A-L-W-A-Y-S provide your `Troubleshooting Information`! ALWAYS!! 🟥

On YouTube page that has issue: click 🛡️ uBO's icon > 💬 Report > Click "Troubleshooting information" > Select all > Copy > Share it.

People on reddit reported rules to prevent slow loading are not working anymore (they said 4th rule was working well before). Can somebody come up with a new workaround?

Answer 3 · 2025-03-10T21:32:19.000Z

Probably should add somewhere that for uBO Lite the filtering mode must be set to at least Optimal for the site.

so.. i have youtube playback problem with lan-block filter

i managed to look up the logger and find that this rule:

*$strict3p,ipaddress=lan,from=~0.0.0.0|~127.0.0.1|~[::1]|~[::]|~local|~localhost

is interfering with video URL

https://rr2---sn-uxa3vhnxa-2ahe.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?

any workarounds? currently disable that filter and youtube is working again

@arfshl Are you using VPN or proxy?

Answer 10 · 2025-03-14T04:51:20.000Z

No VPN or Proxy, but i use AdGuard Home and i hosted that on my devices

Answer 11 · 2025-03-14T04:55:42.000Z

@arfshl Can you go to about:networking#dnslookuptool, input rr2---sn-uxa3vhnxa-2ahe.googlevideo.com and check the resolved IPs?

@arfshl Can you open new tab, press F12 to open devtools, go to "Network" tab and reproduce the issue. Then check the IP of googlevideo.com domain in here (click on the POST arrow dropdown to see the IP there):

Answer 14 · 2025-03-14T05:13:35.000Z

No address?

Answer 15 · 2025-03-14T05:19:09.000Z

click on the POST arrow dropdown to see the IP there

You need to scroll up, you'll see an arrow besides the word "POST" there.

@arfshl If you are proxying all connections to LAN, then this list is obviously not for you: uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#3400 (comment), you should not use it.

Since this is not specifically related to YT, if you want to discuss about this list, please go to the above issue thread instead. This issue thread is just for issues specifically related to YouTube.

Answer 22 · 2025-03-21T14:54:49.000Z

Having an issue with uBlock Origin Lite blocking embedded YouTube content on an educational site. Reached out to the site, they believe it's due to uBlock, which I believe I confirmed by disabling the extension and reloading the site, everything worked fine then. Standard YouTube content is fine, it's solely on embedded video.

Answer 23 · 2025-03-21T14:56:27.000Z

Without exact websites and steps for us to reproduce, there's nothing we can do.

Answer 24 · 2025-03-21T15:01:10.000Z

The website is teachvid.com, all YouTube videos embedded on the site show "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: X6yW1VoOU4re_S3r)". If you wait roughly 20 seconds (almost like an ad is playing) then refresh the page, the video will play like normal.

With uBlock Origin Lite disabled, the video loads immediately. If there's more info you need please let me know.

Answer 25 · 2025-03-21T15:10:45.000Z

all YouTube videos embedded on the site ... With uBlock Origin Lite disabled, the video loads immediately

@SM2010Ficial The first line says:

P-L-E-A-S-E, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read and follow all of the instructions first

The instructions says:

I completely disabled ALL other extensions AND browser's built-in blockers

We don't need a screenshot of uBO from about:addons, we ask for a screenshot of the list of all extensions from about:addons, because we lost trust that people are actually really following the instructions -- as shown in both your screenshots as per toolbar icons in your browser.

Answer 30 · 2025-03-31T05:52:10.000Z

A layout update was pushed that makes the for you page not load but disabling the cosmetic filters makes it work again. I provided screenshots to show you what I mean. One of the screenshots has a thing where the playlist thumbnails don't load but that's due to the AdashimaaTube style not being updated to fix this issue as the dev hasn't responded to requests to do so but I use it for other features so it's not a big deal to me. Disabling said filters enlarges the thumbnails on the subscription and other pages so the only workaround is to go to my playlists to access other parts of the site.

Here's my addons screenshots as well:

EDIT: I found out what was causing my issue and it was old filters that were conflicting with what I currently have. This was the one that caused the display issue:

youtube.com###content > .ytd-rich-section-renderer.style-scope

They must've pushed something on their end and now everything looks a lot like how I view YouTube on my TV these days. My brother hasn't gotten the update and still has the prior layout but I'll delete that one just to be safe.

Answer 31 · 2025-03-31T06:16:30.000Z

Follow the 1st post please.

Answer 32 · 2025-04-03T01:34:48.000Z

Another issue has cropped up today. YouTube pushed an update that caused playable ads to get through and enlarged thumbnails on some videos to pop up on the homepage. They are forcing shorts more and more and now there's two rows on both the homepage and subscriptions page.

(This is the same ad but now it obscures a column of the video)

(I'm not sure what's behind that crop of videos)

I've done all of the troubleshooting steps like disabling the shields on Brave as well as shutting everything off and this persists and even disabling the custom filters doesn't help. I'm not concerned about the shorts thing as that can be hidden on my end with either a userscript or a custom one that gets rid of them but he'd rather I not do that. To reproduce this issue, go to https://www.youtube.com/ and see if there's a large amount of space when scrolling down as well as playable ads that are large and end up behind a column of videos and see if there's some videos behind others and are larger than they should be.

@Ziko577 Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings. Don't sync anything. Just log in to youtube in the new profile.

Answer 34 · 2025-04-03T03:48:25.000Z

I did just that and the ad isn't an ad at all but a new feature called YouTube Playables which essentially allows you to play games in the browser or device of your choice with no ads. Here's what this looks like for an example: https://www.youtube.com/playables

The thumbnails were large and no more than three in a row though sometimes one would end up below there. The shorts are much larger but that's due to me not using the scripts as well as AdashimaaTube and disabling said script didn't resolve the issue at all so I don't know how to deal with that. . The shorts bar also isn't at the top but the middle of the page now. That large page gap is where around 5 of those games would be. I have no idea why they'd do this now of all times as I only heard of this thing today as well as them pushing shorts much harder now.

I also want to let you know on my end that ads are kind of leaking through but not playing and there's multiple reports on Brave's end but nothing's been done and they go back weeks. I just had this happen to me tonight and an update on their end of their shields didn't work. This is with the shields full engaged to aggressive blocking too.

I also want to let you know on my end that ads are kind of leaking through but not playing and there's multiple reports on Brave's end but nothing's been done and they go back weeks. I just had this happen to me tonight and an update on their end of their shields didn't work.

Minor correction on the Playables thing. Apparently, it was discontinued on the 28th of March and somehow I'm guessing that might have caused the breakage today as they're ripping the thing out which is screwing everything up? Yesterday, everything was fine and there was no shorts bar or nothing and now this happened today so this had to be their fault.

Answer 37 · 2025-04-03T11:53:28.000Z

ignoreGenericCosmeticFilters: true
parseAllABPHideFilters: false

You modified uBO for the worse, these are keys to ensure cosmetic filtering works.

Answer 38 · 2025-04-03T19:12:56.000Z

I have the first option set as true as it's checked but I can't find the other one in the lists. That might be on for all I know.

Actually, the settings are correct as parse is false and ignore is true so something else has to be going on.

I just figured out what was wrong. It was AdashimaaTube after all and shutting it off fixed the page and there's only a small number of large thumbnails and some jank with video rows but no more of the weird bleeding of things and the rows under subscriptions are fine too thanks to another script. Everything seems fine so this cab be closed now.

It was AdashimaaTube after all and
shutting it off fixed the page

@Ziko577 So you were not truthful when you said:

I've done all of the troubleshooting steps like disabling the shields on Brave as well as shutting everything off and this persists and even disabling the custom filters doesn't help.

Because we always ask to disable ALL other extensions before testing.

Please respect volunteers time.

Answer 55 · 2025-04-20T13:43:28.000Z

@Aztup Yeah, I can reproduce, but it disappears after I apply the above filters.

Answer 56 · 2025-04-20T13:46:29.000Z

Hmm... Even when I don't use the above filters, I can't reproduce any more. The issue just disappears although I still see the scriptlets pruning the ads.

Answer 57 · 2025-04-20T13:47:16.000Z

I was about to say maybe it's a fluke? If you play an actual ad YouTube will no longer serve you ad for a while so the issue will disappear temporarily

You can either wait or I can give you new cookies

Answer 58 · 2025-04-20T13:47:52.000Z

Yours works on my end too.

Maybe I was too hasty. Looks I just entered a period that I can't get ads. BTW this happens on initial load too. AdGuard is also affected.

Answer 59 · 2025-04-20T13:49:52.000Z

@Aztup Keep the above 2 filters, can you continue adding this one:

I think it might be worth looking at /videoplayback a request is being made but only return 128bytes I assume it tells the client to wait x amt of time before retrying

First request:

Second request:

Answer 64 · 2025-04-20T14:37:56.000Z

But its response is binary. I don't see obvious difference in parameters on them.

Answer 65 · 2025-04-20T14:47:46.000Z

On a normal request the first videoplayback is a few kb but on this one it's always 128bytes

Answer 66 · 2025-04-20T18:33:26.000Z

I did some digging, and I think I’ve figured out what’s causing it. I was kind of right—
The first request basically tells the client to wait x amount of time, and that value is determined by this line of code:

I tried setting backOffTimeMs to 0 or 1000, but turns out that’s checked on the server :(

The only possible fixes I can think of are:

Prefetching a random video in the background and make YouTube think that the ad has been watched
Using the preview video endpoint

It’s definitely a bit trickier than before, so… good luck with that 😅

Hope this helps!

Answer 79 · 2025-04-25T10:53:10.000Z

So i received the "Please disable ad-blocker" thing on Youtube again (Using Firefox and uBlock Origin). I resolved this issue by following the steps in the guide on this page e.g: Create new profile on 'about:profiles' -> Launch in new window -> install uBlock Origin addon (and Nothing else) -> go to youtube -> video plays without any problems.

"Awesome" or so i thought. .

I proceeded to log into my youtube account but now ANY video on youtube takes ~15 seconds to load, i tried recreating this multiple times each with the same result, I even tried re-installing Firefox, but the problem still persists :(

What are these? Did you follow the 1st post?

@Yuki2718 The post was edited to include the correct information.

I proceeded to log into my youtube account but now ANY video on youtube takes ~15 seconds to load, i tried recreating this multiple times each with the same result

So do you still see anti-adb message in the new profile?

Answer 82 · 2025-04-25T11:08:39.000Z

@stephenhawk8054

This checks if an ad is meant to be played according to the sabr response, and compares it with adSlots.
If they don't match it trigger a warning.

Also, this flag is tied to the slow video loading that I reported the other day

No, the anti-adb messages don't show up, so that part is working.

The problem that still persists is the slow loading of videos :)

Answer 84 · 2025-04-25T11:37:50.000Z

I noticed that by de-activating uBo, Refreshing page and playing 1s of the ad presented, then activating uBo again (and refreshing the page) gets rid of the ads at least occasionally.

Will need more detailed research on success rate.

@Aztup Can you share your experimental flags on your side?

copy(yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS)

Answer 86 · 2025-04-25T12:48:09.000Z

compares it with adSlots.

@Aztup Sorry, where did you see that compare?

Answer 88 · 2025-04-25T12:55:06.000Z

Hmm... That behaves the same in a profile that doesn't have issue for me or when not logging in.

Answer 89 · 2025-04-25T14:23:26.000Z

My current toggle it off and on again seems to be pretty stably working

Usual record is: Video on (doesn't work yet), uBO off & refresh, tap ad and stop, uBo on again & refresh, uBo off & refresh
Enjoy Video

I usually re-apply my uBlock Origin while I watch desired content, but do not re-refresh.

There might be room for optimizing a step

Answer 90 · 2025-04-25T15:46:41.000Z

@Aztup I encountered the same problem as you . Enabling uBlock Origin requires a 5-second wait for the video to play. After testing, I changed my browser, PC, and network environment, and finally found that Changing to another YouTube account will not result in a 5-second black screen in the same environment. It should be due to YouTube's 5-second penalty mechanism for blocking ads for certain accounts. I hope you can find a solution and share it with me.

Answer 91 · 2025-04-25T16:34:22.000Z

Hmm... That behaves the same in a profile that doesn't have issue for me or when not logging in.

This function is used in other parts of the code it just check if the player has ads but they combine it with the sabr check wdym it behaves the same?

Answer 92 · 2025-04-25T17:59:10.000Z

I mean they all return false at that line (aka the condition inside if is always true), regardless of which profile.

Answer 93 · 2025-04-25T18:01:31.000Z

Even with uBO turned off?

Answer 94 · 2025-04-25T18:09:41.000Z

No, I mean comparing between 2 profiles that both have uBO:

One that has the issue as described,
One doesn't have that issue (easiest way to test is not log in)

The current goal is to find why there's a difference between these 2 cases, although uBO is active in both cases.

Answer 95 · 2025-04-25T18:12:26.000Z

Well if the one that doesn't have the issue is not logged in it's just A/B testing no? That's the only difference I can think of

Answer 96 · 2025-04-25T18:14:23.000Z

Yes, I mean where is the code that differentiates between those 2 cases? I think it's not at that code line, since both of the 2 cases return the same result at that line.

Answer 97 · 2025-04-25T18:18:06.000Z

Just to be clear the issue I'm talking about is the adblock detection not the 5sec loading time.

The code line I sent is one of the checks but this is not the full check this one is

Answer 98 · 2025-04-25T18:22:36.000Z

Looks like I messed up the links sorry

Also, the adblock detection depends on the 5sec loading time (atleast during my tests) but the 5sec loading time does not depends on the adblock detection.
