how do i disable looping of youtube ads

[andreasaspenberg575]

while in windows 7, playing through the video once disables the ads completely, windows 10 keeps looping them permanently. how do i disable that function?

[andreasaspenberg575]

i have quite a number of different pcs that i use regurlarly. i have 3 acers, one asus, one HP and one toshiba. that is only the pcs i have used in the last year. i have some more. i tried using an ad blocker on youtube long ago and the result was that the videoes failed to load. due to my slow cpu and firefox`s high requirements i can not use it. i need to use a lightweight browser like opera.

If you go manually making filters exactly that can happen if you don't know what you're doing.

Only use the defaults, or pick things with caution and testing, else you can break entire portions of a service from loading properly on your end. firefox & uBlock, use it. Default settings. That CPU can easily handle it if a 2006 laptop can handle it.

ad blockers does not work with youtube. i tried that once before and the video was blocked. ads needs to run, in order for the video to run. though that causes a lot of issues when the ads fail to run for some reason. normally however the ads stops once the video have run through once but, some kind of windows 10 specific script(it was added in a later build) loops the ad with the video. how do i disable it?

uBlock does also block all ads on youtube unless you turn it off for whatever reason. Adblockers in general work on youtube, but I don't recommend using chrome; I highly recommend firefox, but still have doubts as to this issue even happening.

Sorry but no. Ad blockers do work on youtube and they have worked on youtube for years. I watch multiple youtube videos several times a day every day. I haven't seen a single ad on youtube in the past 10+ years. The do work fine. You just didn't configure it right before.

People didn't seem to bite on the last thread(s), and half the time I wonder if these are fabricated or are being used to troubleshoot others peoples issues by making threads about them here, to which I'd recommend whoever's actually having the issue - if anyone is at all - they get someone that knows what they're doing.

The seemingly completely random and half the time unbelievable issues happening this frequently means something is up, and most of the time, it doesn't seem likely that the systems are producing these problems randomly, seems like it's either fabrication or user error.

I wouldn't bother with that because Google is about to ban uBlock Origins and uBlock Lite

my problem is not even in windows 7, it is in windows 10. though because of my weak cpu there is limits to how many tasks i can run at once. the amd a4 5000 is quad core 1.5 ghz cpu without hyperthreading.

You realize running an adblocker would reduce the load on a lot of places right? Especially if you block all the ad domains and tracking stuff.

Try not disabling the adblocker and use firefox with uBlock. There is no way the adblocker isn't working if you're using that combination by default settings of uBlock.

Also you change which system this is about so frequently, last time it was an "acer predator orion 9000" which is far more than capable of processing overall compared to an A4-5000. Even that CPU is very capable of youtube and adblocking especially if a 2006 equivalent CPU could play L4D.

Yes but no, I found on low end CPU's, some that get easily pushed to 100% on web page results would end up slower with adblocker as it would have to use CPU cycles to block the ads, But I've also noticed on some sites, yes, running and blocker makes it faster, so I'd assume it just depends on the kind of ads, or even ad blocker.

And as for A4-5000, I have a faster variant in the same CPU in a HP all in one, will play Youtube ok at 720p, but not much more, I can't remember the exact model, too slow I took the drive out of it and ram and threw in storage. Its a pretty awful CPU honestly lol

Guess what that usually involves? A script that you can block with an adblocker. Seen sites try exactly that, blocked the script. That's why you don't use Chrome.

Google tried that in youtube already months ago, same thing; see script, block script, site works normally. They wasted their time trying to be petty then a country said that blocking adblockers was illegal. They already got fined 1.7 billion for blocking their rivals ads from showing which shows hypocrisy from Google.

I find most of the time the disk is 100% not so much the cpu which is why people recommend ssds even for older cpus as a majority of the time that's the part slowing down processing.

Its not a bad model so it should easily handle that exact sort of load.

No tbis is different they already blocked and removed Kaspersky now they want uBlock gone. It's not.just Google. And if blocked you can't keep using it because the extension will get auto disabled

ad blockers do work on YouTube, I use them daily and get zero ads, been using them for years.

that said I use Firefox, not chrome or edge because they are crap.

Yes if you want to continue using uBlock Origins; then switch to Firefox.

You can also use the Brave web browser (from the creator of Firefox) and this has built-in ad-blocking.

And how do you suppose they're going to disable extensions running on someones machine under the control of the users themselves? They wanted to get rid of extensions for Chrome because that's a google product meant to make google products reliant on the google infrastructure and desires. Other browsers don't have to utilize their stuff, and most of these things outright are just shoddy scripts that can be blocked and the issue is permanently resolved.

Keep in mind the eu is waiting for them to try again, as it'll likely result in a 2-7 billion dollar fine, and while google has money, they have most likely learned that doing legitimately anti-consumer moves is going to cost them billions, every single time. No company can sustain billions of dollars repeatedly and expect things will go well in the short or long term. Either google makes less intrusive things or they keep sinking, youtube is a money pit as-is.

You'd also not want to use chrome due to it being google and google wanting to remove extensions especially adblockers. Variety in usage can be very useful for users & consumers alike for their best interests, and google rarely has anyones best interest when making changes as we've seen it often blows back onto them so it's bad for business.

Still using uBlock, default and custom blocks it also highly reduces the cpu load being wasted on needless background stuff google insists run thus wasting power needlessly, which is even worse for older CPUs.

Definitely would recommend Firefox & uBlock.

I've already seen it happen. Once an extension is banned or removed from the Google Play Store, it no longer can work in your browser. It can still show it in your browsers list of extension, but it ends up being non-functional any longer.

Firefox and ghostery or adblocker ultimate works for no ads. Might be a different setting or some other thing but I get no ads.
