Youtube and Ad Block+

[Skooby]

All of sudden it's not working. The ABP stop sign is still red...but the ads on youtube are popping up all over the videos.

This hasn't happened before now...does it still work for everyone else?

I'm on Chrome.

 

[Mr. Negative]

not here. still get the same start then stop while it blocks the ad.

Might be because you're on chrome.

Maybe you should try updating your adblock subscription lists.

I just tried...it's not doing anything when I click the "update now" button.

nah, your subscriptions, not Adblock itself.

If you've never added any, first go here https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ and add the fist 6 from the top

then go here https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions and add Fanboy's annoyances and Fanboy's Social Blocking list, then scroll down to the miscellaneous section and add those 4 as well.

That "RickRoll" one might not be needed anymore, though.

Thanks...I clicked a few more videos. So far no ads that play at the beginning for 30 seconds have shown up but there is still those where I have to click the little 'X'.

okay, cool.

I think that little x happens because those ads positions run in the same manner as those black boxes users put in their vids that link you to more of their vids. You can't block the x, but you can block the ad.

Better than nothing, yah?

Make sure you turn off "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" as well
