They caught me too on Firefox!
Since Peertube is soaring to new heights with the 7.0 redesign and the app release, I would say now is a good time to switch:

Bummer. Still working in Canada, if you want to move here…
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Look man. Of all the reasons for me to move to Canada, better youtube playback is pretty low on my list.
If anything, I would move there because of daily gun violence, an insane society here among the general public, authoritarian laws being passed in the name of freedom, life crippling medical costs, an insane political environment, police brutality, California can best be described as “on fire” most years, and corporate ownership pf our citizens among other reasons.
But…certainly not for youtube playback.
What I’m trying to say is…
PLEASE LET ME INTO CANADA!!! YOUR COUNTRY SOUNDS AMAZING, ASIDE FROM THE GEESE!!!

Honestly I think it’s less that the geese go south for the winter, as it is they go north for the summer

Canada is looking pretty good right about now.

Might want to think twice. The liberal party (current party in power) is falling apart, and the populist conservatives are looking like they’ll win the next election with a majority unless something changes significantly.
Provincially things are not much better either: Ontario is being run by a drug pushing grifter, the prairies took a hard right into ultra conservatism, the eastern provinces are essentially majority owned by a few rich families…

My wife and I were considering it as well. It’d mean lower pay and higher housing costs. We decided to stay put for now

Time to ditch youtube and find a FOSS alternative.
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a mature enough FOSS video streaming platform. it turns out video hosting is really really expensive and complicated.

Peertube is working on it.
Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 hours ago
Peertube exists and fills the role quite well.

Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide
They’re literally giving us more reasons to use an ad blocker.

I haven’t had to do much more than reload a page after getting this. Ublock, noscript, privacy badger on firefox. I think the unlock folks work long and hard at this. Makes me want to give them money.

Yep lots of these are popping up today. Wonder if google is going to start going hard on this.

Where? Lemme VPN there and see it for myself. I’m in USA and uBlock Origin still works. (Android, Fennec)
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Seems weirdly intermittent. I just ignored it and it still seems to be working. I just couldn’t play certain specific videos in certain windows. Once I opened it in a new window it seems to work, and now I know the settings I need to tweak

If you are using Firefox and have ublock Origin, go to: tools->Add-on and themes->uBlock Origin, in the menu beside the on-off toggle choose preferences. Uncheck uBlock filters. and click apply.
Now choose a youtube video in another tab.
Go back to uBlock preferences, and enable the filters again and apply.
If you don’t have Firefox install it, and If you don’t have uBlock Origin install it.

Whenever I get this, I open the settings for uBlock Origin (click the gear icon in the Firefox extension) and manually update everything in the filter lists. Just click the clock symbol at the end of each item and it’ll spin for a minute, then turn green.
After that, I completely refresh my YouTube page (Ctrl+F5 on PC; close tab and open a new tab on mobile) and it will load videos again.
Google and uBlock Origin are in an arms race, trying to one-up one another. Once you get a notice from YouTube, usually uBlock Origin has a fix for it within the day.
Tech notes for those interested: When you browse to a webpage, it stores a copy of the site on your PC, so if you go back to the site later or hit refresh on the page, it will load the local files instead of downloading the whole page from scratch again.
But if you want to force a website to load completely from scratch instead of grabbing recently cached files, hit Ctrl+F5. You need to do this to fully reload the YouTube page, it else you’ll just get the notice page again.

For those that don’t have the F keys handy, try Ctrl+Shift+R
