YouTube defeated ABP again sometime this afternoon

Post by Robaato »

I've been having the occasional black video window thing, but reloading always fixed that. But now, sometime this afternoon, ABP stopped working at all on YouTube videos. The banners at the bottom of the video popped up, sometimes blank but mostly not, and the ads that interrupt the video at random moments with other videos. Oddly the pre- and post-video ads are just white screens with a Skip Ads button in the usual place.

I've seen a number of previous posts with similar issues going back a couple of years, but I haven't seen a solution. On another site they suggest logging out of your YouTube account, and that actually works, but it is not a preferable solution for what I hope are obvious reasons.

Has anyone figured out a work around for this? Will ABP update to whatever it is YouTube is doing now?

(Yes, I'm venting, sorry...I was watching a video where video ads were interrupting every 2-3 minutes and that just irked me...)

Safari v. 14.0.3, ABP 2.1.8
