Tell HN: YouTube beat uBlock Origin on Firefox

When I go on YouTube, all I get is a blank page with a functioning hamburger icon, search box, and 4 placeholder icons.

When I click on the hamburger icon and go to home, videos appear on the feed. When I click on a video I get ads as if I didn't have uBlock Origin enabled.

Looks like others are facing the same issue.[0]

FF 117 on Win10 x64 with latest UBlock Origin. YouTube is still working for me. The Reddit thread you linked has some posts with things to try.

I got the same blank page for over an hour, after a while it just started working again. No ads in sight.

Upgrading to latest version of uBlock resolved for me.

Something weird is happening, not sure if related

I can't play certain youtube videos on Microsoft Edge; to confirm, I used inprivate mode with NO extensions enabled (not even adblock of any kind)...the webpage loads, I can hear the audio but the accompanying video does not show.

It's only certain videos and shorts, I can can click ten random videos and 8 will play normally, but two will have audio but no video.

(This is only on Edge; haven't seen this on chrome or firefox yet)

Not sure if they are testing something related to breaking adblock or something else, but something fishy is going on.
