Title: Adblock Not Working
Post by: CTWarmbrodt on April 13, 2021, 02:30:28 AM
I don't know if I'm the first person to say this; but for some reason, this browser's Adblock isn't working on YouTube, even when I have "strict blocking" set. Is there any way to fix this, or am I overlooking something?

I just updated my version of Avast! Antivirus earlier tonight (the version is now 21.4.2464), and now the issue of ads showing up on YouTube has returned. I don't know if this is a bug with Avast itself, or if it's something I'm overlooking.

I'm having the same problem with Ad Block, but it's more general, allowing popups and ads on almost all sites I visit. It's like Ad Block isn't working much at all anymore. This has been going on more than a month now, longer than my Video Downloader no longer working (which only started after the latest update a few days ago).

I have everything up to date, browser and main Avast, all newest install (verified all yesterday in thread concerning Video Downloader not working).

Well, like I said, I haven't been dealing with Adblock since I don't know how long ago, but ads have been popping up again since I've updated my version of Avast! Antivirus. And the Adblock extension is the latest version. I don't know if this is a bug that came with the update of Avast! Antivirus, or what.  :-\
