    It's indeed not optimal, but on XP with MPC-HC, YouTube playback is very decent. In other cases I just download it and then open it in MPV. That said, these VM's are mainly for testing purposes and of course for building yt-dlp/youtube-dl.

    We are getting a bit offtopic now, but I have bad experience with VLC (choppy and slow; especially on XP in my VM). On Linux (native) and Windows 7 and 10 (VM's) I use the excellent MPV media player. If you want hardware accelerated playback on older GPU's, request the avc codec (h264) from YouTube. In order to get that, put this line in your MPV config file (example config file here): ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best" And: hwdec=auto The last version of MPV that works on Windows 7 is mpv-x86_64-20230917-git-181eddc (got it from from here). They dropped support for Windows 7.

    Tip: Use the extension "Open With" from the Classic Add-ons Archive. Then you can add the media player of your choice (and other useful commands) to the right-click menu (Screenshot). There is a mod of MPC-HC that I use now and it performs really well in XP. See this post from @mina7601. It uses youtube-dl to fetch the video, so if you have yt-dlp you have to rename it (must be in your PATH).

    I created a new clean profile from within `about:profiles` (so no cookies and settings related to YouTube nor anything else) and installed your extension; updated the lists and still: This is in Linux Mint 20.3 on Pale Moon 32.5.2 (offtopic: the startpage redirects to https://palemoon.start.me/jp; known issue I think)
  5. nicolaasjan
    Yes, with a new install of uBO NLD: Easylist Dutch is automatically activated (but that shouldn't have an impact on YouTube).
  6. nicolaasjan
    For that to happen it may be wise to ask in the My Browser Builds thread? Btw, I also tested this in New Moon 28. [Edit] Same in Pale Moon on Linux. Thank you!

    Well, both in the Led Zeppelin video and in the special Ad Blocker Test Video. Screenshot of the second ad in the latter (Phantasialand ad): If you don't see ads in either of them, then it must be PEBCAK here. Though both videos are tested with default lists.

    Thanks! I still would like to know why 1.16.4.31b2 is successfully blocking YouTube ads and 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 is not, even with Legacy filters added to Custom. I tried in clean profiles, with only Quick fixes added to the former.
  9. nicolaasjan
    Thanks! The filter lists seem to behave well, but I still get YouTube ads... (not happening with the old uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2) Also "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" with its $removeparam syntax is useless for uBO Legacy (recognizes only 3, while there are 1382 a.t.m). [Edit] Maybe you could add "uBlock filters -- Legacy" as well. It still gets an occasional update. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/legacy.txt
  10. nicolaasjan
    Hmm... Didn't encounter that here. Btw, for these Malware filters you can also use these mirrors: https://curbengh.github.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt https://curbengh.github.io/phishing-filter/phishing-filter.txt
  11. nicolaasjan
    Yes, the URL has to be changed. Known issue (old post, so some things may have changed) https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter#lite-version-online-links-only I have added the proper URL to "Custom". I use the Adguard one (see commit 402e2eb). https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt

    FYI: @Reino updated his FFmpeg version for XP. Download here.
  13. nicolaasjan
    Thank you for looking into this! For now, I reverted back to uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy with "uBlock₀ filters – Quick fixes" added in "Custom". No ads any more. Btw, here is a special adblock test video. [Edit] I didn't see your comment above until now, because I replied to an older post. I noticed the %timestamp% as well, but didn't realize what it implied... [Edit2] I still have a very recent entry of 2 days ago in my "uBlock filters" list here: ! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21690 xhardhempus.net##+js(no-setTimeout-if.js, adblock)
  14. nicolaasjan
    (offtopic) Thanks! This works waaaay better than VLC.
  15. nicolaasjan
    Yes, that's what I already guessed you meant. So, the self updating logic is already present in 1.16.4.31b2 ? It seems it hasn't it already done so in my case.
  16. nicolaasjan
    Are you sure? That would be a bummer. Well, I can still view YT videos through MPV on Linux and "modern" Windows. VLC on XP has very crappy playback, at least in my VM. (offtopic) do you know if there is a version of MPC-HC that still works on XP (this fork works well on Windows 7)?
  17. nicolaasjan
    That is certainly the case. E.g. "Quick fixes has now 168 rules in Firefox 121, but Pale Moon only recognizes 135 of them...
  18. nicolaasjan
    I couldn't figure it out, but found an old xpi file in my collection (uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy.xpi), which updated filters without error and didn't show ads on that YT video. (you have to manually add the Quick fixes list to 'Custom") Maybe you can have a look inside it?
  19. nicolaasjan
    @AstroSkipper Yes, Also tested with upstream Pale Moon on Linux in a pristine test profile. Still the same issues: Ads in the video Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (Live from Celebration Day) (Official Video). (highly recommended nostalgia ) No ads in your previous version.
  20. nicolaasjan
    Something weird happened. "uBlock filters - Ads" doesn't want to update any more and YouTube in-video ads are not blocked now...
  21. nicolaasjan
    Try this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers/master/data/combined_disguised_microsites.txt
  22. nicolaasjan
    Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to it. (be sure that you don't make the file name to long for Windows )
  23. nicolaasjan
    Thanks! Note that: "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" won't work. It uses a newer syntax ($removeparam), not supported by Legacy... "uBlock filters - Resource abuse" was moved to "Custom" ("Aangepast" in Dutch) because it is now redundant (used 0 out of 57). It is merged with "uBlock filters - Privacy" (see here). There seems to be some bug with "Annoyances"( "Storende elementen" in Dutch). Clicking on '+' does nothing...: Maybe some more tweaking is needed?
  24. nicolaasjan
    FWIW, the site can't be opened in Firefox 121 either (for me at least). Only recent Chromium opens it, but "Show CSS" is empty as well. Style does not install.
  25. nicolaasjan
    Thanks! So basically the same as @VistaLover achieved with his uBO "hack". However, since my default search when using Google goes via "Advanced Search", I'm afraid this script will not be useful in my case... As I stated in my previous post, there page 2 and onward lead to search results for "null" (obviously not what I'm looking for).
