Allowing Text based Youtube ads

Post by Berzerius »

I hate preroll ads but i think the small text based overlay ads are good.

Is it possible to enable them selectively?

Where do I add this code? I currently have easylist enabled. Do I have to disable easylist while browsing youtube and re enable it later while using other sites?

these are custom filters
keep easylist and add them:

firefox:
click abp icon, filter preferences, "custom filters" tab, if you dont see any filters group create 1, then paste the filters above in the right panel (if you dont see the panel drag the vertical pointed line on the right to the left)

chrome:
chrome: click abp icon, options, "add your own filters" tab, add the filters 1 by 1

Thanks. I already did that but wasn't sure what effect it had. It is hard to find those overlay ads to test LOL :lol:
