Tell HN: uBlock Origin Blocks YouTube

by omani on 9/5/23, 4:46 PM with 8 comments

for several days now I couldnt load youtube. incognito works though. so I thought it has to do something with my extensions. turns out ublock origin (when enabled) causes youtube to only show a skeleton page (no content).

searched and found this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/167bzk9/youtube_stopped_loading_with_ublock_origin/

The reddit you linked to said to force update your filter lists and things will be back to normal.
Have you done this?
Meanwhile, for a less "ad-full" youtube experience, try yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

gHacks has a good tutorial on how to address this:
