Where to add this?

Into uBlock Origin options custom filters

Won't work now, would you update?

Where to add this?

Copy the link to the raw txt, and paste it on the ublock origin settings page under "Import...". It's right at the bottom of the page.

Works for me. EDIT: Doesn't work anymore (Oct 13, 2023)

Works perfectly!!!

works but why does this work? I'm curious

its not working for me. i still get the same: Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service
Im going to white list on abp and adblock and reboot hopefully it works after.

dude get rid of ABP and get UBlock Origin plus youtube enahncer and change the setings google around my problem is GONE!
