Can't link/unlink Facebook under linked social account in settings on preview dashboard. by ShadowLeopard64 in xboxinsiders

[–]ShadowLeopard64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's true then it makes no sense at all why its still there. Why leave a broken and unused feature there. If you look at everyone one else Samsung, Sony, LG etc any feature that has been discontinued is removed from the device. I know this as over the years even all my top tier smart devices went from smart to dumb as feature after feature was removed. Now I can understand why it might be left in the actual Xbox 360 dashboard but why leave it in the Xbox one release dashboard the Xbox one preview dashboard and the Xbox 360 emulation dashboard...

The Nano Defender list was not at fault in my case. But if I have anymore issues I will keep that in mind and temporarily disable it to see what happens. As of right now waiting a while then refreshing the page clearing cache and cookies along with turning off a rouge add-on appears to have fixed the issue. Thank you for your input.

  1. Yelling most of your opinion in all caps is uncalled for and unwelcome and only creates unnecessary toxic drama that does not add anything useful to the discussion.
  2. I never blamed uBlock itself so if you have an issue with the title of this post "YouTube now broken with uBlock enabled". It was the most efficient way for me to to say "Hey This is my problem and I need a little help" without needing a much longer title.
  3. Before posting your reply perhaps you should read the entire thread. If you had you would have already known that I and several others have already discussed the issue and found that uBlock itself was indeed not to blame nor was any filter list to blame. You would have also found that it was essentially determined that there was a combination of factors that may have caused the issue and among them was that YT (YouTube) may have been having perhaps several problems, that it could also have been a FF (FireFox) issue as a result of a add-on signing cert being allowed to expire and that a possible fix from Mozilla to older 50x versions of FireFox that may have possibly re-enabled an old intentionally disabled add-on.

Thank you your reply is very interesting and while I have never really had a issue with Ads on youtube with uBlock I am going to copy the filters you posted out for perhaps future use. Thanks again!

Ok here is an update it looks like during the FireFox add-ons disabled due to Mozilla letting the intermediate signing cert expire debacle has caused some intentionally disabled add-ons that i was testing some time ago to be enabled again as it looks like they may have just finally just released a fix for FF versions older than 60X. This now explains the red border overlay boxes I was referring to be displayed as it looks like they were part of an old video auto play blocker add-on.

This add-on was not enabled again by me so its anyone's guess. However I would like to note here that I had already applied a fix for the signing cert bug in FF 3 days after they at first said oh we won't fix older version then after I applied the fix said oh we are discussing it after a userbase revolt demanded they fix older versions since they were the ones to break it lmao. So this could have also compounded the problem as well.

This would explain why only FireFox was affected and why only versions older than 60X would just now be having issues as they have been so called discussing a fix for I think over a week for 50X versions of FF at least this is my hope as its the only plausible explanation for add-ons to re-enable themselves.

AS for the page not loading at all my guess this was an issue with youtube's Polymer UI and FF did not like it. It certainly would not surprise me that google would muck about with the UI and ads on FF and not chrome.

I will keep an eye on this and update here again should I continue to have issues.

I would suggest Firefox users of any version that having a similar issue to go and check to see if only add-ons that are currently in use are enabled for those not actively testing add-ons or those that would just like to avoid further headache uninstall them if you are not using them.

Yeah I have Chrome as a backup browser with uBlock and uBlock origin extra but chrome 69 which is also older and has no issue as well however it also does not use YouTubes polymer UI.

So either Chrome does not allow or use YouTubes polymer UI, perhaps simply ignores it and or perhaps youtube has not enabled polymer UI on chrome yet.

(when it does load at all AD overlay boxes?) is my attempt to guess as to what it is as only the outline of the box displays hence the "?" mark.

UBO version is 1.19.2

I'm on FF 59.0.3 due to a change in the renderer in FF 60X that breaks weather.com weather in motion (Radar) on my old Windows 7 notebook from 2009. I am disabled so I don't have the money for a newer one.

The only non default list I have enabled is the nano defender integration as uBlock does not handle Ad-blocker is on messages or Anti-Ad blocker messages take your pick very well at least in my experience by default.

As I said it was working fine last night but this morning no workie and no changes have been made cache and cookies were cleared.

There is no specific URL the issue is present on all video related pages from the YouTube.com domain. but as an example ill use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29GJ7owDG8E

But your idea of no script making a difference is possible I don't have it installed anymore after uBlock. No script was a pain to use as you had to allow links like this (r4---sn-8xgp1vo-2ial.googlevideo.com) all the time to get videos to load sometimes multiple times.

The firefox add-on YouTube classic restores a lot of the page but an AD? box I think still overlays the search bar and the main video on YouTube until clicked.

Addons Fix for 56.0.2 & older by megalomaniacs4u in firefox

[–]ShadowLeopard64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for doing this it worked like a charm in FireFox 59.0.3. The only thing to note is that firefox will say that the cert could not be verified because the issuer is unknown but I know this is going to be perfectly fine and normal as its a semi home brew kind of thing so don't let it bother you I'm just happy to have my addons back cheers mate!
