my Fadblock got detected 2 times as of now (growing concern) about fadblock HOT 19 OPEN

Edit 2: hours later and it's still showing me the warning. I might migrate back to Google cause I can't remove the built in adblocker of Opera GX

If you have ANY other adblocking extension installed – even if it's off or deactivated for YouTube – this is probably what is being detected. See this recently closed thread: #194

Thanks a lot for helping out @SheeepsAreNice, you're awesome!

Yeah I just updated my day 3 update. It sucks that it's back. I thought I was gonna be able to watch in peace. Now the "Adblock not allowed" is acting like an annoying Mormon again.

Point taken on Youtube potentially marking accounts behind the scenes. It's a weird one for me, because I downloaded a different extension that mutes and fast-forwards ads instead of 'skipping' them like Fadblock. It's a much bigger disruption still, but it did work when Fadblock stopped. But, then YouTube started detecting the fast-forwarder too, so now I'm running both Fadblock and the fast-forwarder together and now it seems to be ok again.

Either way, if I have YouTube completely whitelisted on my regular Adblocker I use everywhere else online, and Fadblock is the only Youtube-ad-specific extension I have installed, but its getting detected, you can see why people would think YouTube is detecting Fadblock. If you insist it isn't, what would you suggest we do please? I do mean this in the nicest way of course, with gratitude. :)

from fadblock.

Yup, seeing the same.

Even worse, removed and reloaded the extension and it appears to have stopped working completely.

from fadblock.

Can confirm, also seeing the same. Except for me, it's not even fast-forwarding the ads anymore.

Just checked and managed my extensions. For some reason I have Ublock origin installed I don't remember adding it to opera GX It probably got added during the constant updates of the Gx browser last week. Also the Opera adblocker doesn't work on my browser so I'll leave it be. Anyways I'll remove the Ublock on my browser. If I don't get the "violate terms bla bla bla" for the next coming videos I will be watching and the next 2 days, I'll consider the issue fixed.

Edit: Just got an adblock warning after removing Ublock, Probably cause I freshly removed it

Sweet! It worked. Only problem is I just noticed that it removed the recommended videos on the right side of Yt. But I don't mind.

Alright, day 1 checked. Few problems encountered but disappeared after clearing cookies and cache

Day 2 update: no issues, pretty good. Hopefully the last day won't disappoint

Day 3 update (Final): UNFORTUNATELY, it disappointed. It showed up again damn it. Do I have to clear browser data again?

Hi there. I've been using Fadblock for a few months since the crackdown on Ad Blockers came in, but I have found it's been getting detected on and off with increasing frequency lately, and it's happened several times today. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Fablock Origin after reading about the front page post, I have cleared my cookies and cache and restarted my PC, but the issue is still coming back, even when I completely disable AdBlock for all other websites. I'm using Firefox FWIW. Hope this can be fixed soon. Thanks.

from fadblock.

I am still seeing ads. I am on a 2017 MBP running Veentura 13.6.7 and firefox 126.0.1

I removed and reinstalled the extension, removed completely any possible extensions that might interfere, cleared cookies and cache, and logged out of and into again, Google/Youtube. Still getting ads non stop.

from fadblock.

Getting detected in chrome as well (currently on v125.0.6422.78)

Same situation here. Meanwhile, I’m watching YT videos on Duck Player.

YouTube did get their games up. I'm using Fadblock on incognito mode in OperaGx (doesn't get detected in incog including chrome and others).

I guess, see you all again when YouTube loosens their Anti adblock shenanigans.

from fadblock.

As said, the extension works and is daily used by me and most of my peers. The moment it really stops working, I fix it up.

To all those who are running other adblockers side by side, I cannot help, they are getting detected. Worse yet, YouTube puts a tracker when detected and that causes the "I deleted the other adblockers and I am still getting detected" queries.

Even after logging out, clearing out the cookies and logging back in sometimes doesn't fix the issue for some (it fixed for most of us) hinting they are marking the accounts using adblockers server-side but I can't say for sure as FadBlock works perfectly for me as of now and many of the supporters I have talked to over the email.

from fadblock.

Tested it a bit, and if fadblock is active and a pre-roll ad is fast-forwarded, youtube shows a message saying adblockers are not allowed. Activating the extension after the ad starts playing (like, within half a second) skips the ad and doesn't trigger adblock detection

from fadblock.

I am keeping an eye out but so far, it's genuinely working for my and everyone else and by recent reviews - it's being solidified.

To be perfectly candid, I have had some FF'ing of videos when I am watching a mix and I am working on that (no YouTube Adblocker banners though).

from fadblock.

It was getting detected for me a couple weeks ago for a couple days, then not detected for a couple days, etc. It hasn't been detected for the last several days. I also have AdGuard with youtube whitelisted. Haven't done anything to my cookies or cache or logging out/in or AdGuard.

Maybe it depends on the type of ad or the user's country (I'm in Canada). Maybe youtube was testing stricter ad-blocking code to see if it changed people's viewing habits. I know when it was being detected I definitely started watching less youtube.

EDIT: now after my post, it's being detected again for the first time in a week or so. The video will play if I refresh the page enough times.

from fadblock.

Oh so the Daily or often YouTube watchers get marked with the "adblockers not allowed" pop-up in my understanding. Well I spend watching YouTube everyday, no wonder I got these pop-up warnings.

By the way I'm still watching YouTube in incognito, I'll probably return to using my account in August and see if Yt don't detect me anymore.
