Title says it all. Got the message of three remaining videos and then it locked.

I am using FireFox

Edit: Apparently, it was caused by me being logged into YouTube. But I would really like to be. Because that’s where all my subscriptions are. If anyone knows of a way to have it both ways, please let me know.

Edit’ : It was my Ghostery extension that was causing ruckus. I don’t really like the idea of having to switch it off but at least it’s nice to know the cause. Anyway, everything is working now. Even when I am logged in ^^

Also to anyone reading this, keep clearing your cache and update in UBlock Origin!

    Hey bro, what about “I still don’t care about cookies”, “Duckduckgo privacy Essentials” and Mozilla’s “Enhanced tracking protection” ?? Does uBO fulfill all of their roles too?

      There are additional lists you can activate to block annoyances like cookie banners. If you want to it’s possible to add the whole “I still don’t care about cookies” as a custom list so you combine the functionality without the added redundancy.

      All the trackers that firefox blocks should be included in ublock origin as well. I’m not quite sure about their cookie isolation, but if you already block the tracking cookies you don’t really need that.

      As for DDGEP, it’s also mostly a list of different trackers that get blocked which is redundant. The enforced https can also be achieved through browser settings. As for the link shortening to remove tracking, ublock has additional lists for that too. No idea about the supposed Google AMP protection and what it really does, but it also looks like a link shortener.

      All in all, pretty much all functionality is covered by ublock origin, but it does require you to go into settings and enable some additional lists.

        Bro wtf get out of my mind, How in God’s name did you answer a question I forgot to ask!
        If I may ask, do you know of a megathread of the popular filters/lists to ublock origin ? they don’t provide one on their subreddit

          Link shortening is part of DDGPE so I mentioned it.

          I don’t know about any megathread or the like, but enabling the already provided lists in the setting should do most of the work. (If someone knows one I’d appreciate a link) If you need specific features like more cookie banner removals or blocking of youtube shorts, searching directly is good enough to get what you want.
