Adblock doesn't block youtube ads on safari

Post by samsmiles »

Okay i'm beginning to get very frustrated. On my previous computer I used adblock or adblock plus (can't remember) on google chrome and it blocked ads perfectly. I just got a new computer and installed adblock onto my safari (version 7) its not blocking ANY youtube ads and its incredibly annoying! Can someone please help me fix this without having to install different programs or anything like that

I am using adblock plus on safari 7.0.1 and I also keep getting video ads on youtube, though I have the impression that they occur less frequent than before.

You might have that impression, because the version of Adblock Plus for Safari you were using blocks ads in the first YouTube video you watch, but not when you navigate to another video. Blocking ads in subsequent YouTube videos was actually a little tricky but should work now with the latest devbuild 1.7.4.1113.
