ABP IE11:Whitelisting youtube channels and youtube video lag

Post by RikuKH »

Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer 11:
Is it possible to whitelist certain youtube channels? It's at least possible for some versions, but what about this?
Why does Adblock have much more variety in its settings, all I see in my ABP is some Easylist+weirdtext -drop down menu and whitelist for full sites.
Why can't I find a download page for the regular Adblock (not Plus) [are Adblock and ABP from completely different developers?]
Apparently some Easylist (which I mentioned earlier, but I don't understand it) is causing lag at the start of each youtube video. I read that disabling and updating it might fix it. HOWWW do I do this??? I can't find any settings or configurations or menus or ANYTHING for it. I was guessing I didn't have it. But I'm experiencing the same lag as the people who do have it. I tried to add it to ABP... and the link was DOWN!! SOOOO many problems and obstacles. Unbelieveable!

But two there are two main problems:
Youtube video lag
Whitelisting specific youtube channels

Could someone ppplease help me with this?

-whitelisting YT channels is working in firefox / chrome but only using first a script (under greasemonkey / tampermonkey addons)
-ABP (Adblock plus) is the real adblock. There is only another adblock but only for chrome (other developer which inspired from ABP for firefox).

I don't get any lag on YT videos.

If you are using easylist (and not easylist + some regional list):
-choose another combination (easylist germany + easylist)
-visit some pages
-go again into settings and choose again your original list (easylist for example)
-see if it's ok (you can also close/reopen IE)

Also:
-go into tools, manage addons, disable / remove all other addons (sure, keep flash)
-close/reopen IE
-test again

What version is your ABP ? Did you already test ABP 1.3 ?

-Did you try removing (if any) other addons ? (keeping flash obviously)
-see also your antivirus (other security software): disable (if ON) the web shields or eventually the plugin your antivirus put in IE

I don't have any other add-ons in use

I don't know why, but I forgot to mention, that this is why I thought this was the problem: forum/viewtopic.php?t=23129
The whole page freezes from 2 to 6 seconds.
But yeah, I just tried IE protected mode off with ABP on and it stopped freezing. And I don't know is there a difference between lag and freezing, but whatever. It freezes.
I tried googling, but didn't find solution for this... I read somewhere that I could try updating my windows, which I haven't done actually, so now I'm gonna try that first.
