Problem: Youtube pages load everything but the video (see example).
Cause: You have the AdNauseam extension installed.
Solution: Put "https://www.youtube.com/*" on your "Trusted Sites" list, as per the second image. The trailing asterisk is necessary; that makes it affect the entire site, not just the home page.
The AdNauseam settings screen, showing steps to add Youtube to the "Trusted Sites" list.
1. Choose the "Trusted Sites" tab. It's the 5th focusable tab, after AdNauseam (which is *not* focusable), Settings, Filter Lists, My Filters, and My Rules.
2. In the text edit area in the bottom half of the screen, add the lines "https://www.youtube.com/*" and "https://youtube.com/*".
3. Click the "Apply Changes" button that's above the text edit area, just before a "Revert" button.
What the actual fkuc is wrong with part time website cowboys (at least here in the UK anyway)?
I use Proton VPN on all my stuff, either directly installed or on my router. Moreso recently I'm getting message pages when trying to get to websites telling me that I'm blocked or don't have the correct privilege to view their shitty page. Recently, I got one with a 404 error not because the page could not be found but because I wasn't allowed to see it because the site couldn't track me - good to know really. Last week it was the RSPB, yesterday it was a couple of tyre fitting companies, today a local electrician. More and more are insisting that there are essential cookies, you know, the ones where they sell your data to their 'partners', partners my backside. When will they realise that with all these restrictions, in place stopping or restricting people viewing their site or quite simply stealing our data, the hits to their sites will be reduced and their sales drop. At least I hope they do.
It's not much different with ad blocking. I have been presented with screens telling me that the person's site relies in showing me adverts for crap that I don't want, don't need to see and will certainly never buy so I have to turn my ad blocker off to see the part I do want to get to. Look, it's your fkucing website, it's there advertising what you do, in its own right it will increase sales on its own, if you load it with adverts for other sites, no one is going to bother with your stuff. THATS WHY WE HAVE VPNs AND AD BLOCKERS!
Upgraded Pi-hole to the new version 6 this morning. Ran into a few issues. I had to reconfigure the upstream DNS servers. Apparently, those settings were lost during the upgrade. Easily done in the web interface.
Except, it also did not offer to disable lighttpd, so you may need to run 'sudo systemctl stop lighttpd' and/or 'sudo apt remove lighttpd' after the update to get the web interface working again.
Google chrome's logo with the center circled, separated from the rest, labelled as "google chrome", the three fins around the outside, which do not intercept with the circle, are "privacy", "ad-blocking", and "speed"
