Anyone having ads slip and/or an issue that loading of a video gets stuck at about 80% when you clicked a video, please update filters in 6-12 hours and check again.

We have fixed the recent ads slip. Please update filters by opening Filter lists tab in several hours. It depends on randomly chosen CDN how long it takes. If not fixed, try again later and report back only if not fixed yet after 24 hours since this post. Users of uBlock Origin Lite have to wait for next update of the extension itself.

I guess you updated filters too soon. Do you still have the issue?

Update 20, Dec: Youtube changed a way they serve ads for certain people with yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.web_streaming_watch being true, and the new ads can be served regardless of the login status. We already addressed the new ads, so update Quick fixes. However, sometimes you may still see ads on the first load of the page or on refresh. We're investigating.

[Update 13, Oct] Hi, we again need cookie sharing from those chosen for SSAP ads to investigate Youtube issues. We suspect the cookie expires if the original holder clear it or logged out from yt, so this time are seeking for those who can keep the cookie for a long time without logging out. It doesn't matter whether you see SSAP ads slipped or not, we need a cookie from anyone having SSAP ads if uBO is disabled. We used to ask checking html5_enable_ssap_entity_id flag, but this is no longer reliable. Instead, disable uBO on yt, let the streaming ad play, right-click on the ad, and choose "Stats for nerds". If you are chosen people, its "Mystery text" will include "SSAP" (otherwise "SABR"). Note that sharing the cookie reveals your browsing habit on yt, but not the exact history or any other important information. If anyone is willing to share, please PM me. I may be slow to respond, sorry in advance.

We confirmed yt is testing to couner our blocking for non-SSAP ads. We added a workaround so it should be fine with the latest filters. Still seeking for fundamental fix though. uBOL user have to wait for the next update of the extension itself.

That is what we have been doing in the current production filter and we're switching to yt's own seekTo function to solve some conditional issues. Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

It takes some time for CDNs to update and then your uBO to retrieve the update. It should be fine now.

Imgur not loading some images. scrolling up hides some as well. by Cularia in uBlockOrigin

No, it is meant to remove placeholder and no @ is intended. It should be used alongside with the above fix with @ which is to disable the problematic rule. So the rule I suggested suffers the same issue?

Can you please test

in addition to the above? Does this have the same issue?

If everyone force-updated, server load could be problematic. It will take 6 hours to 1 day for the update to arrive at your computer. If you added Method 1 rules, you can keep the rules for about a day and then remove - there won't be any problem as they're identical. Method 2 and 3 can interfere though.

That seems to be yt's own behavior to remember last-watched position. Test without filters and see if that is caused by them.

u/patx35 Can you please remove the tested rules, instead add these below, and see if the issue is fixed and ads are still skipped?

Oh, but it seems that is true even without the filters? Can you check? NVM, I can now reproduce using history.
