Is anyone else not able to watch YouTube because it says you are using an Adblocker? Even though I disabled it for YouTube

It's whitelisted it and it's still not working.

And no, I am not going to buy YouTube Premium

Yes, just in the last 24 hours. Must be a new thing. I won't be buying premium either!

I use McAffee - I have said allow adverts on it.

It's happening to me on a lot of sites, not just YouTube. In my case I think it's Malwarebytes causing it. I can use it though, there's just a nag screen that comes up and a cross to close it appears in the top right corner after about five seconds.

Interested in this thread?

It is Malware Bytes - I was getting those warnings and now it doesn't work at all. Despite me whitelisting it

Yes this has happened to me now, the only way round it is to uninstall the browser guard which is incredibly annoying. I've reported the issue but I'm not holding my breath.

Yes I've been getting this too , have to allow ads too .

So I've reinstalled the browser guard in chrome and I'll have to use Bing 😭 just to watch YT for now.

Did you reboot the device?

cakeorwine · 29/10/2023 21:53

I have downloaded a different browser just for YouTube.
