Can't watch videos on YouTube :(
« on: October 28, 2023, 12:32:46 AM »
Hello, I am having a problem with YouTube with the latest version of the browser. When I try to watch a video I receive this message "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service". Ok, I am pausing the Privacy Guard for the site and also put it in the exception, but when I am refreshing the site the problem is not resolved and I am still getting the message :/ Anyone having the same problem?

It's not so much browser specific as such.

YouTube is being very aggressive on AdBlockers on all browsers.  Do you also have any AdBlockers extensions/add-ons installed on Avast Secure Browser ?

I think I have found the problem ... I was having an AdBlocker Plugin installed ... maybe at some point of time :D But yeah, they are very aggressive in the last couple of days.

You have been lucky so far then as it has been going on for a while now.

Of course you can, but this isn't what OP is asking.

I watch You Tube movies on Firefox and close where it says no ad blockers.  The same on ASB.
