EDIT: SOLVED! And good god am I dumb. Cleared cookies for YouTube. Done.
Seems like a dumb question as I’m constantly reading posts about YouTube blocking and I’ve been in IT for 30 years, but I’m at a complete loss.
Using uBlock Origin 1.64.0, been fine until the last week or two. Still works in Edge! But it’s annoying to swap browsers back and forth and not be able to simply click a link in Firefox.
Searching the web all I get is old news, nothing about the latest fixes.
Is there something like revanced for a Windows desktop?
UBlock Origin works for me in Firefox, but the last time YouTube was at war with adblockers I had to retore default settings in uBlock every few days.
I can’t remember the process but I think I had to reset the settings and do something with the lists.
You can also try a desktop app like Freetube. There is no algorithm through, if you are looking for that. It sometimes breaks when YouTube makes changes and everything is stored locally, so you have to back up your subscriptions if you plan on reinstalling Windows at some stage.
See if you can default uBlock Origin, that method worked before.
