New Youtube anti-adblock tactic- being a resource hog

Looks like Youtube is making Chrome run slower by artificially increasing CPU usage when it detects adblock. The kicker is this affects Youtube premium members as well. Really makes me question the value of Youtube premium when they do scorched earth tactics like this.

Not my problem, I have been always using Firefox before chrome existing.

It's not just Chrome. It does this with Edge. It lags like I am running a potato until adblockers are disabled.

The real problem is your adblocker (adblocker, adblocker plus).

A recent update is causing this problem.
But it should be fixed if your running the latest version.

uBlock Origins was never affected and YouTube runs fine.

Is it a realistic problem?
What are minimum specs to watch YT on Chrome with an ad blocker vs without?

Still using the same Adblock I've used on Chrome since around 2010; not seen a single ad on YT, ever. So IDK WTF you all are doing wrong. What I want and need is to be able to block all the ad crap on Twitch. Those are horribly too much too often.

On your Phone, yes that's unavoidable if you are running off a Cellular or other outside network. As most likely you'd only have such ad and telemetry blocking on your own WiFi.

It was a bug in a recent update to adblock and adblock plus that added nuts to the mix.

According to various news sites an update was released to fix the problem.

Heh, I prefer the content on YouTube nowadays. That said, the platform itself and google are kinda rotten.

So there's the rub: the blame likely falls with AdBlock, and the problems may impact other websites. YouTube simply found itself in the unenviable position of being a very popular platform, being the most impacted by the bug, and having the least benefit of the doubt considering its past

youtube is messing with adblock users

but the hard hits seem to be the ones using both the plus and the reg

"Since it affects both Adblock Plus and AdBlock, the performance regression hits harder those who had the bad idea to use both at once."

i use firefox with ublock origin and noscript and do not have an account to log into

i have not really noticed any trouble

YouTube is SERIOUSLY messing with content-blocker users. It's become sort of a silent war. I may not be experiencing the site slowdowns (Firefox here) but more like: shadow banning, quality degradation, anti adblock banners, and missing the number from the notifications icon.

Why so sneaky, YouTube? Could it be you know you're a money-grubber? Trying to win back $$ for Google's numerous privacy lawsuits?

Use Ublock origin.

ABP is so bad and has been for ages, whitelisting companies for bribe money and generally being a total hog.

gorhill, the dev of uBlock Origin has outed the parent company of AdBlock Plus for a long time now. Here's an example I snipped from X--some don't have accts. there so I'm not gonna link it. I mean: when it comes to ads, trackers, etc, it's all or nothing, not "if it suits us, we'll block it" mentality. I have yet to see an "acceptable ad." :steamhappy:

they seemed to have stopped it, for now. I didn't have troubles earlier, but it was obvious a few days ago.

I haven't been having issues on YouTube, but I use Firefox, not Chrome.

Seems the issue is Adblock Plus, which I do use; not because of preference or anything but simply out of habit since it's always worked for me and never presented me with ads I mind. The acceptable ads can be disabled, but I don't even have them disabled and they don't bother me. Not defending Adblock Plus here as I don't have a horse in the ad block software race and don't care about which is better than another; just giving my honest impression of one of them from a user standpoint.

However, this appears like it may be the cause of some other issues I've noticed with web pages loading funny in the last many days. YouTube is ironically just fine... but a couple of other websites are delayed in loading content (mostly visual/layout related). Steam is even one of them, though it's one of the ones that is only delayed minimally. I've seen this happen on and off at times with some websites and figured it was a timely issue with the connection between me and a few particular sites since it usually clears up after a day or two, but this thread made me check my CPU use while watching one of the affected sites, and albeit only one core, the one core does go to 100% while the content is stuck loading and then settles after it loads. And it takes a while to load in. So that matches the criteria here. So I suppose this is my issue but I'm too lazy to disable the extension and run checks on websites right now. Might have to look into uBlock Origin though if they remain slow.
