uAssets 🚀 - New youtube ads not blocked

Updating "uBlock filters" list does not help?

gwarser on 6 Jun 2020

didn't help yet (tried updating first) and I only noticed it on those two videos so far. Like I said, no Ads on basically any other videos I've watched today

I have the same issue on some videos.
I noticed that the video-ad has a yellow progress bar and cannot be fast forwarded. Once I manage to turn on my video, after scrolling to the beginning, it again activates the video ad with the yellow bar.
It's annoying

Could you tell me what you need me to do if I encounter another Ad? I've attached two Network Monitor HAR Files and hope this helps.

If you updated "uBlock filters" in lates ~20 hours and still dont' have "Skip ad" button, add youtube.com#@##player-ads to My filters.

I deleted uBlock from addons, reopen firefox and install uBlock again. No ads for over 1 day so I think it's a success

That does not update the filters. To update the filters you must click "Purge all caches" and then "update now".

OK, now I've also done this. Thank you for the advice

Try adding to My filters:

youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined)

This should block video ads in new tabs.

Try adding to My filters:
youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined)
This should block video ads in new tabs.

The above seems to have worked for me.

youtube.com#@##player-ads

doesn't seem to do anything. I'll further watch the issue and report back on any new ads popping up :) Thanks!

If someone is still having issues they could try: https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/commit/e6682bbe3eca3774d0b1159d312a84a8c7afcce7

OK, youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined) caused issues https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/7542 and was removed from filter list https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/9d7610baf1449021a2974b2569444a0374c4245f

Maybe some other variant of this filter will work.

Replace undefined by:
false,
true,
null - similar to undefined, may not work,
noopFunc,
trueFunc,
falseFunc or
''.

Like this:

youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, false)

Also, be sure you do not have another similar-purposed content blocker (ABP, AdBlock, AdGuard, etc.) along uBO; using more than one similar-purposed content blocker will always cause issues -- uBO is meant to perform optimally on its own.

I'm also having the same issue on Chrome. It displays a grey overlay with a skip button in the lower right corner, but doesn't actually play the ad.

mlindner on 15 Jun 2020

@mlindner youtube.com##.ytp-ad-module and youtube.com##.video-ads should hide these grey static ads, but when YT decide to show you video ad, you will not be able to skip it.

Came here to report the same issue (on firefox). Ads are not blocked on youtube. I can also reproduce the issue with the 2 links posted by OP.

IMO latest json-prune down, I see ads with /sw.js blocked (AdNauseam also fail).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBDTCSoi47E two 30 sec pre-roll ads.

This video is also good for testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjwilAja7Lc

llacb47 on 20 Jun 2020

Do you see ads after opening new tab or when navigating in YT (with red progress bar on top)?

gwarser on 20 Jun 2020

with new tabs: look into page source and try location initial player configuration object assignment. ytInitialPlayerResponse = {...adPlacements/playerAds...} or widnow[ytInitialPlayerResponse] = {...adPlacements/playerAds...} or somethingConfig then follow it in debugger and try to defuse by set/aopr/aopw/whatever.
when navigation inside YT: set userResourcesLocation to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/ef7af0cf1f3c9c6d1b57f355ceb4ce40/raw/61969a9fc2f66e5e5938cc5a30d12419d8288316/json-prune.js and add to My filters:
```
youtube.com##+js(json-prune, [].playerResponse.adPlacements [].playerResponse.playerAds playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.playerAds adPlacements playerAds)
```

Weird, I don't have this issue yet.

I had today.

First such 30 seconds and then a white board with a small circle in the corner for about 5 seconds.

Something new - I can rate ads without watch that ads:

In short this can help against video ads:
||www.youtube.com/get_video_info*=adunit&$important

TL DR:
Setup: FF 56 x86 on Win 7 x64
Hit today ads on some videos on one of machines. After some testing found that:
1) if "uBlock filters" list disabled, ads dont shown
2) from comparision of network activity with and without this list, turned out that rule @@||youtube.com/get_video_info overrides rule =adunit& from EasyList
3) adding beforementioned static rule removed ads

TO DO:
test that this does not break anything useful

Help or you have only 1 pre-roll ad at day as to overcome advertising filters.

We've been there. You are lucky, for other people this causes "error occured" screens.

gwarser on 10 Jul 2020

I've also been seeing ads on youtube every ~5th video I try to watch for a couple of weeks now. I've tried many many things.

This:
||www.youtube.com/get_video_info*=adunit&$important
seems to work for me, thanks Bodudan. I can't say for sure that it works 100% but I haven't seen any ads in about 10 views since I added it. It doesn't seem to break anything for me.

AntiSol on 11 Jul 2020

for other people this causes "error occurred" screens.

Betweem "error occurred" and video ads not blocked, isn't the former preferable -- at least uBO would be worst than other blockers?

gorhill on 11 Jul 2020

Adguard uses
||youtube.com/get_video_info?*=adunit&$important
in it's filter list.
I can't reproduce ads or the "error occurred" message on my end.

okiehsch on 11 Jul 2020

I have added the filter, let's see the feedback.

gorhill on 11 Jul 2020

👍1

So what should be removed in Easylist @gorhill ?

ryanbr on 11 Jul 2020

||youtube.com/get_video_info?*=adunit&$important

This is not everything. You should also block ||youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?*=adunit&$important, which is allowed in EasyPrivacy because people complained about watching time not being saved.

All YT problems started when people saw an error because youtube.com/get_video_info?*=adunit was blocked - we have come full circle?

gwarser on 11 Jul 2020

So what should be removed in Easylist

The new filter overwrites our own exception filter.
I do not think any EasyList filter has to be removed.

okiehsch on 11 Jul 2020

I am just trying to act according to feedback above:

Two users report that the filter appears to prevent ads from being shown -- so far; hoping for more follow-up feedback;
@okiehsch says AdGuard uses that filter, and report no ads and no "error occurred"
Your json-prune filter is something which didn't exist originally, so not really full circle

For me the worst case is people being served ads which would not being served without our uBO-specific exception filter, @@||youtube.com/get_video_info.

We don't need to block ||youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?*=adunit&$important, you say it was already excepted by EasyPrivacy, so its not uBO-specific.

gorhill on 11 Jul 2020

@okiehsch says AdGuard uses that filter, and report no ads and no "error occurred"

Just to be clear, I can't reproduce the ads no matter what.
I have not seen any youtube ads since this whole discussion started and I use it regularly.

okiehsch on 11 Jul 2020

Ok, me neither, but since AdGuard uses the filter, surely there must be a reason, for now I haven't taken the time to track down the reason they added the filter.

gorhill on 11 Jul 2020

If there changes we need to make in Easylist or Easyprivacy, to counter Ads. We'll need to do it. Just need to be safe it doesn't cause the Error Occurred issues

And one uses Fx 56. @BogudanPro are you on uBO legacy?

@okiehsch says AdGuard uses that filter, and report no ads and no "error occurred"

Tons of issues on AdGuard tracker (it's hard to track them all), but AFAIK uBO does not have problems with "error occured" (uBO can have it for few seconds max) and they still have.

Your json-prune filter is something which didn't exist originally, so not really full circle

Without /get_video_info there will be nothing to prune. This JSON is included in this request and sometimes coincidentally also valid video info and this causes issues ("error occurred").

Hopefully 1.28 with wildcards will fix more, but still it only fixes cases where ad info is downloaded by XHR - this is probably only the case when people navigate to video inside YT page.

For me the worst case is people being served ads which would not being served without our uBO-specific exception filter, @@||youtube.com/get_video_info.

Or complain about not seeing videos at all.

We don't need to block ||youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?*=adunit&$important, you say it was already excepted by EasyPrivacy, so its not uBO-specific.

What I meant, some people don't have youtube.com/get_video_info request and still see ads because ad info can be smuggled in other requests including youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime.

gwarser on 11 Jul 2020

Ok well you have been dealing with the Youtube issue more than I did, so it's best for me to not interfere at least until I invest as much time in this as you did. Feel free to remove the filter I added if you think it makes things worst, I don't have the same insights as you have. It seems what's really missing at this point is users suffering the ads and with minimal technical skills thoroughly collaborating with us to get to the bottom of this.

gorhill on 11 Jul 2020

I will wait for feedback. There is always a chance I was mislead or lost in contradicting cases.

:+1:

I will probably add json-prune with wildcards enclosed inside env_firefox this evening.

gwarser on 11 Jul 2020

@gwarser, on home pc: yes, uBO 1.16.4.18 legacy. Not sure about PC where i saw ads...

BogudanPro on 11 Jul 2020

To chime in with some more info in case it matters: I'm using uBlock Origin v1.18.6 on waterfox classic 2020.06.

thoroughly collaborating with us to get to the bottom of this

I'd love to help solve this in any way that I can. What should I do if I do see an ad? Is there some info I can collect to help you track this down? Thanks! :)

AntiSol on 11 Jul 2020

for now I haven't taken the time to track down the reason they added the filter.

yes, uBO 1.16.4.18 legacy.

json-prune should be available, yet you are few versions behind.

gwarser on 11 Jul 2020

I'm using uBlock Origin v1.18.6 on waterfox classic 2020.06.

json-prune is available starting with 1.23 and legacy 1.16.4.18.

On legacy builds you can try =adunit&$important,domain=youtube.com

Is there any fix for this issue? Youtube ads not blocked.

did you update uBO filters ?

mapx- on 12 Jul 2020

Is it fixed with latest update @sharpaper ?

ryanbr on 13 Jul 2020

Updating uBO filters doesn't help, still have the same issue. On many videos YouTube Ads aren't blocked.

1.27.10
Google Chrome 83.0.4103.116

twisterniq on 14 Jul 2020

I'm getting ads on youtube (Firefox 78.0.2 64bit, uBlock Origin 1.28.0). I can reproduce the issue with the links provided. Just tried on Google Chrome ( 64bit, v83.0.4103.116, uBlock 1.27.10) and can also reproduce.

guft on 14 Jul 2020

@ryanbr Under "Filter lists" I've clicked "Purge caches" and then "Update now". Still seeing ads.

sharpaper on 14 Jul 2020

I'm now very confident that

||www.youtube.com/get_video_info*=adunit&$important
is working great. I've watched maybe 50 youtube videos since adding it. No ads, no errors.

AntiSol on 14 Jul 2020

To be fair, I do have noticed a lot fewer ads. The links reported in the ticket do not show any ad anymore. Occasionally (rarely) one shows up though, or I see a 15-seconds whitescreen with the "Skip ad >" button. But overall I think it's working again. Thanks for fixing this.

sharpaper on 14 Jul 2020

On computer where i've seen ads was FF 56 with uBO 1.13 legacy. As i mentioned before, rule helped to get rid of ads.

BogudanPro on 14 Jul 2020

So use too old version, try override Firefox add-on signing requirement (verification):

or

If any people don't try publish compatible json-prune with uBO 1.13: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/7519#issuecomment-646890235

krystian3w on 14 Jul 2020

Actually, at the moment, the difference is that there is a white screen with "Skip Ads" button. Should it be like it's now? I mean, before there were no white screens, no ads, we could directly watch the video.

twisterniq on 14 Jul 2020

youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined)

fixes these blank ads without causing any issues for me.

Toastbroti on 14 Jul 2020

I can confirm there is no more white screen with the filter given by @Toastbroti. It works fine for me. I've tested with the two given links in the first post. Without the filter, there is always a white screen with the "Skip Ads" button. With the filter, the video starts directly.

twisterniq on 14 Jul 2020

And no break now homepage (only blank boxes on background)?
