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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be very helpful for reproducing here. I personally had problems to find ads in your last provided YouTube link.

This would be very helpful for reproducing here. I personally had problems to find ads in your last provided YouTube link. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any ads in either of them. And both videos are tested by me with default lists in New Moon 28, too. As far as I can see, my fixed release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 works fine here. But we need further tests and results from other users for confirmation purpose. As for PEBCAK, I wouldn't say you are a problem. Edited January 3 by AstroSkipper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you enabled the region and language-specific filter list NLD: Easylist Dutch? I always enable the filter list DEU: Easylist Germany. 49 minutes ago, nicolaasjan said: For that to happen it may be wise to ask in the My Browser Builds thread? Yep! Good idea! Maybe, there are users of @roytam1's browser editions willing to test the two YouTube videos in terms of embedded ads under my new release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 in New Moon or Serpent. I personally will ask here. Edited January 3 by AstroSkipper 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any ads in either of them but @nicolaasjan does. Thanks in advance! Edited January 3 by AstroSkipper Update of content 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No copy and paste from the webextensions of uBlock Origin any longer due to incompatibilities. All filter lists can now be updated properly, at least there are no errors at the moment. I removed the self-update mechanism of the internal list which contain the default filter lists. I added the filter list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" to the default ones. Both, the new filter list "filters-2024.txt" and the one from last year "filters-2023.txt" are now inside the xpi file and can be retrieved correctly. From now on, we will get the update of these filters, too. Furthermore, I solved the annoyance with the timestamp of some filter lists. Now, the timestamps are shown correctly. Inside the xpi file, all filter lists have been replaced by the most recent ones to be more recent after installing without immediate updating. I am now in testing mode. Cheers, AstroSkipper AS ... just discovered this late last night. With all your instructions for installing this new version ... it went well. Thanks for this newer version and all your time involved. I put this newer version on New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 and it all seems good on my end. Thanks again ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also test the two YouTube videos from the quoted post above in terms of embedded ads? I need urgently further confirmations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) @nicolaasjan I did further tests. This time, I tested uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 in the most recent version 32.5.2 of Pale Moon under Windows 7 on a notebook. I cleaned the profile completely. I deleted all cookies, website settings, cache and so on. I removed all remnants of previous uBlock Origin Legacy installations. I can't see any ads in either of the two YouTube videos. Please, check if you use a completely clean profile and install my mod again! In any case, delete all cookies and settings related to YouTube! Especially the file ublock0.sqlite in the subfolder extension-data. Edited January 4 by AstroSkipper Update of content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Youtube Downloader HD very well and use it for many years, too. YouTube in web browsers on old hardware is no longer a good idea. This site has gotten worse and worse from year to year. If I nevertheless want to watch a YT video directly in New Moon 28, I use the extension uTube or the service Invidious.

Under both versions 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 and 1.16.4.31, I don't see any ads in the Ad Blocker Test Video. It stays empty and black. Here is a screenshot with 76 ads blocked: Edited January 4 by AstroSkipper Update of content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
