When I tried this the damn ad blocker message thing is unable to be closed and blacks out the whole video instead of being a pop-up. The only way to play is to disable ghostery and ublock. I'm super pissed.

I haven’t used Ghostery in ages as I had heard it was funded by ad agencies to harvest data.

But are you using Ublock Origin? They have instructions on how to fix this. Someone posted this in the Technology community I think?

Basically, update it. You might need to lose Ghostery, but load up Ublock Matrix if you want more script control. Not sure what that’ll do with YouBoob as I’ve not tried yet.

Also, there is yt-dlp. You can just download your videos. No ads from yt.

Edit: Here is the post

Cliqz International GmbH, a privacy focused company whose software has been merged into both Brave and Firefox with Ghostery and Ghostery Dawn being their only live products.

Ghostery was owned by Evidon, Inc., an enterprise marketing analytics and compliance company. Not an ad agency.

Ghostery has been open source it's entire history and never sold you data. Unlike Steam.
