Diversion Diversion Youtube adblocker is not not blocking ads.

The YouTube customer and consumer satisfaction number is listed if you can find it.
"Thank you for calling the YouTube helpline. All our agents are busy right now. Expect a estimated wait time of onehundredandtwentytwo days, five hours and ten minutes. Your call may be monitored for monetization and exploitation purposes. Please don't hang up and hold while we present some customized offers from our affiliates."

I've successfully installed Diversion and it is blocking adverts. I have a Chrome instance running with 30+ tabs playing YouTube videos. Diversion has created a list of '161 YT'. I'm happy to let that run all day and night (I am currently performing a 1TB+ cloud backup, so my PC is currently on 24/7).

Is there anyway of sharing/consolidating our YouTube lists?

I don't think it makes sense to share the lists. Not how I am remembering seeing how the script creates them (specific for each network).

can you please report back after testing? I am confused with all the comments I read if it actually works or not for YouTube. Thanks

Diversion is reporting 230 YT rules, but I'm still seeing adverts. I guess it is labelled as an experimental feature and will hopefully work in the future.

Again. Use uBlock Origin in Firefox.

It's that an available app on Roku?

How about iOS YouTube app? iPad, iPhone?

Unfortunately there is no option for iOS unless you go for jailbreak. There were a few tweaks that able to do this. There is even tweak that block ads system wide. Anyway, I am out of jailbreak for some time so not sure what is going on now.

One option for iOS is to install Brave browser and watch Youtube from there.

I ended up installing Cercube on both my iPhone and iPad. Not a single ad! Thx

I tried out the feature today, but it's not working. It doesn't block any advert on Youtube.

My yt_blacklist has grow to 700+ but recently found that it does not block any Youtube ads in my phone. I am wondering how the IP address is chosen in the yt_blacklist and how it gets updated over time. I try dns lookup a few of the entry and each give a different IP address. If I am not mistaken the IP address supposed to be the same and that is how the ads are getting block? Now that they return so many different IP addresses I am afraid this is not working anymore?

Nothing wrong, the YouTube video ads blocker has its own inner workings, independent of the regular ad blocking feature in Diversion.

Hi
I'm using WireGuard manager with a VPN. Specifically, I'm using Cloudflare WARP on my router.
Diversion seems to not work when the tunnel/connection is active anymore.
How can I resolve this?

I got signulous and installed cercube.

It works for me on aps and smart TV, but does not work for web browser.

A quick read on their website reveals the reason: https://cloudflarewarp.com/

1.1.1.1 with WARP replaces the connection between your device and the Internet with a modern, optimized, protocol.

Oookaaay, I do not understand.

Like most router VPN, you probably have to figure out how to ensure DNS traffic from clients stays at the router and not go through the tunnel. It’s not a Diversion question, specifically. Try the Wireguard thread.
