🟥 ALL YouTube issues: D-O-N-'T COMMENT without reading the 1st post🟥 #20586

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-10T15:43:02Z

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

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 (1.62.0+)

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. However, DO NOT disable "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" add-on.

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.

video tutorial

Then share the EXACT links / URLs that you see the issue.
Describe the steps to reproduce in the most details as possible.
Provide video recordings of how to reproduce the issue.

If you suffer slow loading, test

www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)
www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.web_enable_ab_rsp_cl, false)
www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.ab_pl_man, false)

June 2024 - YouTube SSAP ads issue: PLEASE UPDATE QUICK FIX LIST by clicking this link

When reporting, please tell exactly which BROWSER you are using, which METHOD you are testing and DESCRIBE the steps to reproduce the issue in details, including the URLs where you see the issue.

iam-py-test · 2023-11-10T22:56:48Z

Disable everything other than uBlock Origin and see if it does away.
Then, enable them one-by-one and see which one caused it.
Thanks

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-11T04:34:15Z

@FrostedNiips Please follow the instructions in the top post

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-12T12:14:39Z

@somebody0278 Can you do these steps (follow strictly the step order, don't mix the steps orders, or skip any steps):

Click on uBO icon > ▤ "The logger" icon, it will open a logger window
Open new tab and reproduce the issue
Switch to the logger window that was opened in step 1, click on search bar, choose blocked
Copy the logger via 📋 export/copy button at the top right
Paste the logs here

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-13T23:40:00Z

happens on both Linux and Windows.

Is it from different devices?

RA-Kooi · 2025-02-13T23:45:23Z

That's a kind of hard question to answer, since the Windows "machine" is a VM with passed through hardware. So I guess the answer is yes?

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-13T23:47:15Z

Can you test in another real device with different network?

RA-Kooi · 2025-02-14T00:28:12Z

I logged in on Vanadium on my phone over 5G. YouTube works, and continues to work over WiFi.
Not sure what this means, not going to speculate.

EDIT: Just tried on firefox, works fine there. Tried updating to the latest version of ungoogled chromium on Windows, issues persists there.

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-14T01:22:53Z

I suspect this is more related to browsers and youtube than uBO: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1iol6pg/youtube_megathread_ads_detection_or_breakages/mckejnx/ so I won't investigate into this more. Btw, if you only see the issue when logging in, it usually means that they are A/B testing something and making conflicts to browsers' network configs.

RA-Kooi · 2025-02-14T01:29:16Z

I suspect you're right, I hope I can disable this through an experiment flag.

aphedges · 2025-02-14T01:46:58Z

It's been a day, and I still can't reproduce the problem I reported around 22 hours ago. If it comes back, I'll try enabling autoplay and see if it works.

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-20T12:49:01Z

@Rudxain Does it happen in a new Firefox profile?

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-20T21:32:31Z

@Rudxain In the new profile, if you log in, does the issue occur?

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-22T00:25:16Z

@Rudxain Please share troubleshooting information in your old profile like instructions in post 1.

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-22T23:51:41Z

@Rudxain Can you go to about:addons page (type in URL bar) and screenshot it here?

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-23T17:05:37Z

If you cannot reproduce the issue in new profile then we can't investigate further. You might need to investigate in your old profile yourself.

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-24T01:26:24Z

PLEASE

FOLLOW POST 1 PLEASE

What's the issue?

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-27T22:56:13Z

Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

stephenhawk8054 · 2025-02-27T23:27:15Z

What happens if you turn off uBO? Let the ads play and continue to let the main video play the whole video.

MasterKia · 2025-02-28T11:35:35Z

after following instructions in the OP

I verified the issue does not exist if I turn off uBO.
