You have to use AltStore which sometimes goes unmaintained for a few months, even when it's maintained it's kinda buggy and the Windows version almost never works for me. It's also not available for Linux. And you have to connect your phone to a computer running AltStore every 7 days, otherwise the app will stop functioning. It's just not a great solution and especially bad for less tech-savvy users. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rexios@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (3 children) You don’t have to use AltStore.

Fuck this Chromium garbage that deprecated MV2 because Google is scared of adblockers. Don't support Google's monopoly on browser rendering engines and use Firefox or something even better like LibreWolf. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Did you read what the addon is about? It's not an adblocker but is to be used in conjunction with one. All it does is circumventing the adblockerblocker. It specifically recommends being used together with uBlock. Btw, I use FF with uBlock. But I am not everyone, so when I stumbled across this, I thought it might be helpful for some people. And I found it ironic, that Googles own extension store contains an extension that circumvents the YouTube adblockerblocker. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I know, but uBlock has built in circumvention features, and you can add custom blocking rules or filterlists to uBO without having to install an additional extension. If the addon becomes outdated, it might start interfering with uBlock Origin. It's best not to combine uBO with any other ad-blocking addons and just use the existing mechanisms like custom rules and filterlists to extend uBO if needed. The uBO team is constantly working on ensuring that the built in circumvention mechanism works, most of the time, the only thing a user needs to do is clear the cache and update the filterlists. And I found it ironic, that Googles own extension store contains an extension that circumvents the YouTube adblockerblocker. It will probably be taken down soon lol permalink fedilink source parent [+] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent

Fuck this Chromium garbage that deprecated MV2 because Google is scared of adblockers. Don't support Google's monopoly on browser rendering engines and use Firefox or something even better like LibreWolf. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Did you read what the addon is about? It's not an adblocker but is to be used in conjunction with one. All it does is circumventing the adblockerblocker. It specifically recommends being used together with uBlock. Btw, I use FF with uBlock. But I am not everyone, so when I stumbled across this, I thought it might be helpful for some people. And I found it ironic, that Googles own extension store contains an extension that circumvents the YouTube adblockerblocker. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I know, but uBlock has built in circumvention features, and you can add custom blocking rules or filterlists to uBO without having to install an additional extension. If the addon becomes outdated, it might start interfering with uBlock Origin. It's best not to combine uBO with any other ad-blocking addons and just use the existing mechanisms like custom rules and filterlists to extend uBO if needed. The uBO team is constantly working on ensuring that the built in circumvention mechanism works, most of the time, the only thing a user needs to do is clear the cache and update the filterlists. And I found it ironic, that Googles own extension store contains an extension that circumvents the YouTube adblockerblocker. It will probably be taken down soon lol permalink fedilink source parent [+] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
