Youtube has added a new “feature” that blocks users with adblockers from viewing videos. How do I get around this while still blocking ads? I currently use uBlock Origin on firefox.

i just use yt-dlp to download the video these days. i have lots of filters in addition to ublock’s default ones, somehow they’re clashing with youtube and i can’t properly play any video. yt-dlp+mpv is also much faster on my potato system, and makes me save videos.
yt-dlp gets blocked more often than Firefox + ublock Origin for me.
i always use their latest nightly build, so maybe that helps. also i generally don’t watch youtube a lot, so my ip probably didn’t get flagged yet
I also do this. If yt-dlp keeps failing, change the VPN location or download the latest build and it works.
yeah same here I just download and watch it’s very fast actually and I keep videos for 6 moths (in case if they removed)
