YouTube Ads started to appear recently
Fred
Hi
Youtube ads started to appear some weeks ago, thought it would be fixed by now, but it hasn't. I use latest chrome so it uses the html5 player (looks like the flash player but html5, can't choose which player to use).
Do I have to add rules by myself or can you fix this?

Hello. Check if you are opt'd-in to use HTML5 player from http://www.youtube.com/html5
If you are not, but still using HTML5 player, and not to, then you can try to "manually" disable it by navigating to your Chrome folder, and renaming "ffmpegsumo.dll" to "ffmpegsumo.xll" for example. This will enforce flash player as this file is required for HTML5 media, but since it isn't there (renamed), it will use flash player instead.
However, recently youtube added new ads which can bypass your adblocker if you click a link from the playlist, or from the suggested videos. A quick refresh after clicking them fixes this issue, however.
Hope this helps.
