Adblock Plus

another test you could do:
"install" chrome portable, then only ABP + easylist and test again.

I have Bitdefender.

Just tried turning everything off in it.

The error still appears on Youtube.

Alright, have done the DNS.

Have tried using Chrome Portable with AdBlock + Easylist.

Still doesn't work there.

Just tested with my Laptop aswell.

Nothing but Adblock Plus.

Doesn't work, error still appears, and it's Windows 10.

I busted out my older laptop and the same version of Adblock Plus is working just fine on it. In my attempt to find the discrepencies between the two I updated the EasyList filter list on this current laptop, even though it claimed to be up to date. The problem seems to have resolved for the moment, though I'm not sure if that was the solution or this is just coincidence.

So, forcing updating easylist it worked. Good to know.

Just tried forcing Easylist to Update. Not working :/

I did just earlier. Not working.


I have found out that as long as I am logged into Youtube, this error persists. But as soon as I log out, none of them appears. This seems to be supported by others.

Well, the EasyList update fix may not have worked after all. I'm still getting the error, but not as often as before. It was very reproducible before, but its now so erratic that testing is difficult. Anyway, it seems to have subsided to a level I can live with. Hopefully it stays this way.

It appears to be something stupid on Youtube side of things.

Everything works fine when logged out.

I just logged into an Alternative account, everything works fine there, even WITH Adblock enabled.

But as soon as I log back into my main account, the error starts reappearing. And there is NO way to get in contact with Youtube Support, because there isn't any!

Gargh, I am annoyed. This is fucking stupid.

This also seems to be the case for me

I have found a sort of work around. I was able to avoid the error by watching videos with no error back to back off a off a playlist while in full screen. I discovered it while watching my "watch later" playlist. As long as when the current video ends and it transitions to the next video you are in full screen you will not see the error. If you aren't in full screen when the video ends as the next video starts it'll get the error and you'll have to wait through the delay.

Edit: To avoid the error on the first video on in playlist just use the navigation buttons to skip to the second video then back to the first video while in full screen.

Heya, just got help on the Youtube Help forums.

They told me to try using Chrome Canary browser, and so far everything works there. On my main account, got Adblock Plus, no Errors.

Still hoping that whatever is happening between Adblockers/Youtube/Chrome/other browsers gets fixed. As i get errors on Chrome, long periodes of darkness on Firefox. But nothing on Canary.

Hope this all gets sorted out.

I tried all of the above mentioned steps and was still getting the issue--except that Incognito works even if ABP is enabled in that mode. It's super weird.
