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?
This article: https://iter.ca/post/yt-adblock/ crossed the Fediverse a few days ago. It’s informative and the fix at the end might still be relevant.
It confirms several things it seems pretty clear YouTube are doing, and goes into a decent amount of detail.
(Or else the article writer saw a comment of mine where I said certain things were happening and there’s a confirmation feedback loop going on. It’s hard not to reach certain conclusions when different accounts accessed by the same person on the same computer behave in different ways though.)
