How can i block youtube ads with firefox? adblocker plus doesnt work, theyve made a deal with youtube apparently. I've been using a different adblocker, but this has been discontinued for Firefox recently.
I tried switching to chrome, but apparently there's not way of swapping tabs via mousewheel, which is like losing my right hand to me. also, the addon page seems to have been created by a 16 year old, judging by its functionality. please send help
Most retarded comment of the day candidate.

Wow. Who told you about /g/? Honest question.
Install uBlock Origin and go away please.
I just use an edited HOSTS file to block ads. I've never seen ads on YouTube, or embedded within YouTube videos themselves.
I really don't see any logic in using a browser extension to block ads. It hogs resources to re-render the page minus the ad banners, whereas your HOSTS file is capable of blocking ads natively on a OS level at no cost of resources.
Here's a tutorial for Windows: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts2.htm
On Linux, you'll need to open your file manager as root and replace the HOSTS file manually.
I update mine maybe once a year, and haven't seen any ads anywhere.

Daily reminder that /g/ is the default board for Clover users.

thanks
>>51981927
on second thought, this kinda sounds like a ruse

Is this really true?
>>51981922
this seems to work fine, thank you
>>51981868
You deserve firecucks
Enjoy

which browser do you use and how is it better?

Yes.
But its not a clean adblock. Adblock Plus/uBlock origin work within a framework so its a cleaner presentation.
Why not use both browser extension and host file?
>>51982125
why would you use adblock plus when it doesnt block youtube ads?
>>51981927
>>51981998
>>51982125
if this is a ruse it's at least well made
>>51982173
is this seriously the first time you've heard of a hosts file? Protip, everything points to 0.0.0.0, so the worst thing you could experience is a legit site 500-ing.
>>51982222
yes, and i dont even understand your protip
>>51982103
10/10 troll . mi familia.
>>51982251
Another protip is to not reveal your powerlevel, or lack thereof. Go ask >>>/wsr/ if you need anything else.
>>51981896
>>51982275
Is this a joke right now or are you the same person posting about /wsr/ in every thread?
>>51982275
i dont give a shit if sperglords get mad over me not knowing things. im honestly thankful for the uBlock Origin tip tho
>>51982322
>implying this isn't another thinly veiled ABP vs uBo thread
>>51982339
ABP not working for youtube doesnt make it much of a fight, if you ask me
>>51981868
ADB+ crashes on YouTube if you have Firefox DE
>>51982138
>>51982360
It does work. OP is just an idiot. I use ABP, and never see ads anywhere.
>>51982583
yep im german. couldve done a workaround if i had installed an english client, then?
>>51981868
Ad Block Edge
>>51981998
no
now give me your shekels
For me Adblock Plus has rendered sites using google 'services' such such as this with recaptcha broken.
Gmail will not load and google images will only show blanks.
What us the /g/-approved adblock

UBLOCK ORIGIN
HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS SHIW
U
BLOCK
ORIGIN
>>51981998
No. I tried blocking shit with my host file once and it crippled my internet browser until I reverted it.
I don't think it's meant to handle tens of thousands of redirects. The one on windows at least.
>>51983665
What do you mean by crippled internet browser?
hosts file blocking has nearly no cost. I use it on ancient pentium and celeron computers that can't handle adblocking in the browser and it performs just fine.
