Fadblock has stopped working completely in Chrome also, anyone, any ideas of what the issue may be?

If you read issues (at least the last few) before posting, you would see that this is already reported, and a fix identified - just waiting for it to be rolled into operation

The latest YouTube patch has not been deployed globally yet, so the previous version continues to function for the time being.

I've made updates to the backend, so if anyone encounters issues with the current version, they can simply update their installed FadBlock.

Here's how:

I tried to update FADBock as you showed but after this try if I came back to the FADBlock menu, it say again I need to update.
I noted same behavior on Vivaldi on linux and Edge on Windows 10.
I also tried to reinstall FAD, restart the browser after the installation but nothing solve the update and work problem on youtube

Same experience as AleMingh. I'm using EDGE with Windows 10.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 11, can confirm it is not currently blocking the ads.

The patch is constantly changing, I will have to push a new release, give me this weekend you guys.

Can you guys update the extension again?

Just clicking on "Update" will do, it'll update in a blink and will say "Updated!". Just close the menu and you can resume watching YT again. Let me know if this patch works.

@DigitalBear70

I just checked a handful of videos on YouTube and the extension seems to be working again.

Thank you so, so much. You are the GOAT.

After updating the extension, on Linux KDE Neon with Vivaldi, everything works perfectly again.
Thanks

On the extension select the burger menu (3 dot on top right) and select "Update".
After update I suggest to refresh the youtube page.

Phew! I will soon release the next version which will probably have the capability to adapt to geo-specific patches so we can minimize the downtime even more.

Sorry for the delay, you guys. I wasn't able to push any updates while the previous patch remained effective worldwide, including in my location.

I will be closing duplicate issues while redirecting some to this thread for now, even if there's any problem with the new update, feel free to reach out!

Ad blocker has stopped working for Firefox. Cannot update the extension either

It seems to not be working on Chrome anymore. Running the update a few days ago did work, but G has out-updated you it seems. I look forward to the next release which may fix it.

Same - stopped working for me on Edge this morning despite updating. Thanks for continuing to try!

@CommicKick69ing

For chrome (at least for me) it skips the initial ads at the beginning of the video, but not the mid roll ads.

@direraven1143

Actually mine is exactly the same as @CommicKick69ing on Edge

@0x48piraj

Yeah, I have been also getting some issues, a few ads are going through while others are getting skipped as intended, seems like YT is dynamically applying patches?

I will investigate further and put out the new version this week. Hold on, everyone!

@DigitalBear70

JAHU

I'm afraid that FadBlock is not working anymore for me either. I'm getting ads at the beginning and mid way through videos.

Windows 10, EDGE Browser. Version 124.0.2478.51 (Official build) (64-bit)

We know that you're working hard to fix it. It's appreciated. TY

I think I have found the culprit and a new version is being tested right now in a closed loop, if all goes well, the new update will drop before tomorrow's end.

Hello, it's not working on Opera either, i've been blocking the ads by hand. it's quicker then waiting for 2 ads to run through (seems like they have new unskipable ads)

Stopped working on Google Chrome on Version 124.0.6367.78 (64-bit), Windows 10 version 22H2 build 19045.4291
Those ads seem to be around 10 seconds, skip button was offered at 5 seconds mark.
thank you for your continuous support of this project

On Firefox, the 2.7 update is out. and for me it is working again. However some ads are not skipped, just stopped, and i need to press the play button to skip the ad and play the video. But thats not a big problem for me, better that watch the ads :)

Thank you Piyush :)

@AverageYTuser

Hey Piyush,
I think I have something that might fix the problem of fadblock. I have a PC and a work Laptop, my laptop's Fadblock still works because If I recall correctly, I did not update it, while I was using my PC I panicked when the Ads started playing again so I deleted it and redownloaded it, out of nowhere it ain't working no more, Update still has not yet came.

TLDR: I ignored the fadblock updates on my Laptop and it still surprisingly works
Hopefully this helps.

Google probably shadow banned your extension from updating because it blocks ads on youtube or something

That's what I've been thinking. Google does own YouTube.

@heitorpfigueira

Could there be a way to install the updated extension without going through Google Web Store? Like an executable, dll or something similar, even if it requires manual steps. I'm not sure if you gain something from using the store but I'm afraid they are blocking your stuff.

Now working with Firefox. In the US as of 5/01/24 10 p.m. CDT

The Chrome just pushed the extension. The extension will auto-update in 24 hours for everyone who has it - for those who want it instantly can uninstall and install again - beware - you will have to login again if you supported the extension.

V1.1 appeared for Chrome and the ads are zipping by again just how I like them. Just enough to know the creators are getting paid, Google is getting paid, and the ads go by like shooting stars. It's a win, win, win!

@AverageYTuser

The Ads are being sweeped again as of right now, it's finally working on Opera gx browser, Wishing you more success in the future. Love from the Philippines.

Hopefully from now on, we can just push the in-app "Update" button to publish patches so to never get a long and painful downtime like this. Fingers crossed.

Cheers everyone and thank you all for the support! I couldn't have done any of it without y'all! 🍾

Hey thank you for the updates but just spotted a minor thing that sometimes the videos with skipped ads are muted. Dont know if thats a youtube bug of mine or anyone else experiencing same thing.
Anyways just a very very minor thing just for better future updates probably. Thanks again for all the hard work! :)

@funglol718 I will look into that, it's a reported bug but it's not reproducible so fixing it is very hard. Anyways, the original issue served its purpose so closing this one.
