Hey,
so about a week ago i installed a free adblocker to get rid of the youtube ads you have to skip through after having about 2 months of 2 minute plus ads that i couldn't skip through (generally the same one too)
so then i noticed not long after that when clicking on a video it won't start playing or loading for that matter unless i turn my internet on and off again, as soon as i turn it off the video starts then i have to turn it on really quick so it doesn't stop again and will actually buffer. I use a Macbook Pro (2015) and I run El Capitan (fully up to date- I'm pretty good when it comes to updates) and I've never had this problem before installing this damn thing (serves me right for trying to be cheap) so my intuition is telling me that i haven't installed it properly which is irritating because i use youtube a lot.
It never happens with netflix or anything else which is why I'm assuming that its because of this stupid adblocker app as it was specifically meant for youtube.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue with these free adblockers and if you've managed to get rid of them without totally wiping the entire mac as i have a lot of stuff on here that i otherwise wouldn't have room to put anywhere else.
Its not that i have a problem with you tubers making money from these ads, as many people have suggested but when you are watching the same ad again and again and you can't skip it for like two months straight its really annoying (first world problems i know).
I use youtube a lot for researching experience design for my graphic design degree as i just for whatever reason don't like vimeo that much so watching these 2 minute long ads can get really distracting.
someone please help me because its doing my head in over here!
Thank you in advance for any help and replies and really any advice would be much appreciated xD
