Youtube Adblock Microsoft Edge

 admin



AdGuard Ad Blocker – You can also use this adblock tool to block various types of ads in Edge browser, and block troublesome ads and pop-ups in YouTube, Facebook, etc. It focuses on social media ad-blocking. 2 thoughts on “ Adblock is causing errors on YouTube in Microsoft Edge ” Zelanium June 26, 2020 at 3:05 pm I have experienced the same issue with UBlock in Firefox for some time.

  1. YouTube Adblock is an extension (add-on) to your browser, which adds functionality to your browser so it can filter content. In this case, the functionality is to block annoying advertisements (video ads and banner ads) from YouTube. So you can focus on enjoying.
  2. AdBlock is also available from getadblock.com. USER REVIEWS Carl - ★★★★★ “I was having troubles with bwplayer and other ads. Anyway, it doesn't appear now since i installed AdBlock on my Microsoft Edge. Personally I recommend this.” Quinch - ★★★★★ “I have been using this for so long.

*** Update, May 2020: If you've recently started seeing YouTube ads even with AdBlock installed, YouTube may be testing some advanced ad blocking circumvention on you. We have not been able to reproduce this issue on our end, however, many of our users have reported that signing out of their YouTube account often resolves any recent issues related to YouTube ads, including seeing unblocked ads, the skip button disappearing, or seeing error messages in place of ads. (Sometimes they can sign out and sign back in, but sometimes they must remain signed out.)
This also appears to be happening to users regardless of which ad blocker they're using, which leads us to believe that YouTube is testing some new (particularly aggressive) technology on their end. Unfortunately we can't do much to get around it until they release it more fully, so we can see exactly how they're working around our ad blockers. Rest assured that we're on the case!


There are several reasons you may be seeing ads on YouTube. The steps listed below will help troubleshoot issues related to ads that appear in YouTube videos.


Note: If you’re on a mobile device, we can only block ads that appear on web pages you visit in your browser. If you use a mobile browser that supports AdBlock (Safari on iOS devices and Samsung Internet on Android devices), be sure you are watching videos on Youtube.com instead of the YouTube app.



If you’re suddenly seeing ads on YouTube and didn’t previously see ads in videos before, there may be an issue with your filter lists. A good first step in troubleshooting filter list issues is to perform a manual update: How do I manually update my filter lists?


For AdBlock to block ads on English-language websites, including YouTube.com, you need to subscribe to EasyList.


If you watch non-English videos, also make sure you have subscribed to the filter list for that language. For instance, if you watch videos in French, make sure French + EasyList is enabled in AdBlock's options located on the Filter Lists tab.

It seems like an obvious solution but it happens more often than you’d think! Check to make sure you didn't tell AdBlock not to run on YouTube or allowlist the channel you're watching. Find out more about how you can support your favorite content creators with AdBlock.
If you’re having trouble with ads after trying the troubleshooting steps above, you might want to try reinstalling AdBlock. Reinstalling can help clear out small errors that prevent the extension or app from working correctly. Follow these steps to uninstall and reinstall AdBlock.

Another step that can help ensure AdBlock is working correctly is to clear your browser’s cache and cookies: How do I clear my browser cache and cookies, reset my browser settings, and update my browser?

Disable all your extensions except for AdBlock. Reload the page. Try to watch the video again. If you don't see any ads, then one of the extensions you disabled is somehow interfering with AdBlock. Re-enable each extension one-at-a-time until you find the one that makes ads appear. If you need to use one of these extensions, notify the extension's developers so they can fix the issue that's causing the interference.

If none of the above steps helped, try these additional troubleshooting steps.

[German]Microsoft has issued a warning about the Chromium Edge browser. There is a conflict between Microsoft Edge and the browser extension AdBlock Plus, which causes problems when viewing YouTube videos. The error also occurs with Google Chrome or the Brave browser.

I came across the topic via the above tweet from Bleeping Computer. Microsoft’s media team has received a number of reports of a possible bug.

A number of users who have installed the AdBlock (Plus) or Adblock for Youtube extensions reported that errors occur when playing YouTube videos.

Youtube Adblock Microsoft Edge Reviews

The error is that the video player displays a black screen with the message ‘An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: [video_id])’ when trying to play a YouTube video. Microsoft has determined that this behavior occurs on all operating systems and all Microsoft Edge channels (developer, stable).

A workaround is possible

The Microsoft team has found a simple workaround. When problems with YouTube occur and one of the two Adblock extensions is enabled, Microsoft developers recommend disabling these extensions and reloading the website.

Feedback welcome

It is currently unclear what triggers this behaviour. Microsoft is still investigating the behavior, but is asking Windows Insiders for feedback. This feedback can take the form of comments on this article.

Adblock

Microsoft Edge developers would like to know if users see this error message but do not use the Adblock extension, or if the workaround above (disable the Adblocker and refresh the page) does not fix the error. If the scenario occurs, Microsoft will ask you to send a feedback through Microsoft Edge. To do this, press and hold the Shift+Alt+I key combination in the browser. Alternatively, you can navigate to the “…” menu, select Help and Feedback and then select Send Feedback. There you should include a detailed description of the problem and check the box to insert diagnostic data.
