for those wondering what I've blocked:

I don't think it's working, due to Google using DNS-over-HTTPS under the hood. #AndroidTV #AdBlocking

I wonder how hard #YouTube is going after #adblocking. I almost never watch in a browser these days, but prefer watching videos in #SmartTube on television, with its built-in #adblocker.

The other day I turned it on, and there was an update. Fine. I watched twenty minutes of videos, and there was another. Some days there are three. So far SmartTube is winning, so I donated for a third time. #adblock

Merci @sebsauvage d'avoir partagé à propos de Pi-hole. Je ne connaissais pas ce genre de solution. Mis en place sur mon Nas et Box reconfigurée en très peu de temps. Simple, élégant et redoutablement efficace. 😍

Je pense que je ferai un don d'ici quelques jours au projet.

Unfortunately AdNauseum usage isn't even close to matching up with the hype. I wish more people used this amazing extension so that advertisers and big ad companies like Google could get more pissed off.......

Do you use AdNauseum extension?

People are saying that YouTube isn't working for ad-blocker users. Is that true? I have not encountered any issues so far in any way.

Google's sure as hell getting pissed off at this extension that they even banned it! 😹

If ever you needed a reason to have an adblocker installed...

In case anyone else was having the same issue...

Problem: Youtube pages load everything but the video (see example).

Cause: You have the AdNauseam extension installed.

Solution: Put "https://www.youtube.com/*" on your "Trusted Sites" list, as per the second image. The trailing asterisk is necessary; that makes it affect the entire site, not just the home page.
