NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm going to keep my current setup. I only need *ONE* list to block YouTube ads but it is not a uBO list, it's ONE list inside "AdBlock - best ad blocker". It defeats the purpose if I need to extend my FIVE uBO lists to TWENTY-SOME lists. My five uBO + one "AdBlock - best ad blocker" seems just fine for my needs. If your list would have worked for uBO to block YouTube ads by using six or seven lists instead of five but one extension instead of two, that would have been a step in the right direction. But jumping my 5 lists up to 20-some, nope, I'll pass. But thanks again for the suggested TWO lists, but no, adding those two lists did not prevent the need for my one extra extension.

I would never use two ad blockers at once. uBlock Origin is totally sufficient and can block most things. But it has to be configured correctly. Your five lists are not sufficient. Even the two YouTube lists can't change that. All filter lists under "Built-in" should be enabled. But uBO can do much more. You can remove annoying elements from websites and create your own filters, and so on. And BTW, one further extension consumes more resources than enabling a few filter lists in uBO.

However, your post came at a great time because I just built it using VC 2010, but using the Windows 8.1 SDK. Next up... Removing UniquePtr references, and move semantics from xpcom/glue/nsCOMPtr.h. In October 2023, I failed to make UniquePtr.h compile cleanly using VC++ 2008, so I think it will be easier to just do away with it completely.

UCyborg Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 @NotHereToPlayGames When it comes to uBO's default lists, most YouTube filtering is taken care of from uBlock filters – Ads, I'd have to check whether the ones from uBlock filters – Quick Fixes add anything important for that particular site, I keep it enabled though. Filters mainly clear up responses from their servers dealing with video content, stripping bits that insert ads, basically a bunch of JavaScript proxies intercepting fetch/XMLHttpRequest calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need to experiment. I build my profile here at home and use my fully portable profile also at work. I only use YouTube at work for "background noise". Work computer will let me run my portable browser, but it somehow blocks installing extensions directly, so I install them at home and zip-and-send the whole browser.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Okay, working now. (sorry for the derail, lol) Using uBO only (instead of that extra ad blocker) enables me to prevent my lists from AUTO-UPDATING. I prefer to MANUALLY update my lists (auto-updates will "flag" IT at work). Edited April 19 by NotHereToPlayGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j7n Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 12 hours ago, chermany4ever said: I agree, but I would add that there are many, many other sites like that. Yes, almost always, when a site is rewrited fro the ground up today, it will make use of bulky scripts, and often appear as an "app" (maybe with a loading bar). To find something to download from a site like YouTube, I usually still need to open it to list the content. The titles don't always have unique keywords that will return the entries via Google search. I like how YouTube-DL has become smart now and can follow the Google redirect from search results. But if I want to read the text, for example, on an e-mail site like Protonmail or Discogs, then I need to browse it normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my New Moon 28 profile, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters". I can't notice any serious impact caused by New Moon 28 (at the moment, 318 MB RAM usage by palemoon.exe). Edited April 19 by AstroSkipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 13 minutes ago, AstroSkipper said: I can't notice any serious impact I definitely do here! I've reverted to using "AdBlock — best ad blocker" running ONE list in conjuction with uBO running only FIVE lists. The "AdBlock — best ad blocker" apparently blocks YouTube ads differently because uBO will SHOW the ad for a split second, if not more, before skipping the ad. uBO will prevent the ad from PLAYING but it still SHOWS the ad. At least for Chromium-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast to UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, all current Chrome browsers are extremely limited and restricted. Webextensions don't have the permissions that legacy extensions have. This is one of the main reasons why I avoid Chrome browsers when I can. Nevertheless, provide a link to the YouTube video where ads are still shown despite blocking by uBO!

These types of extensions have pretty much surpassed those available for UXP browsers. At least I have trouble finding useful extensions for UXP browsers of that kind. UXP looks more like a browser platform catering specifically to programmers rather than simple users who just want things to work (I'm in the latter camp...).
