Google does he declare war on Youtube Adblock? (upd) – 01net

Update September 8

Adblock users, you can breath: if it does not work properly with YouTube, it would not be the will of Google … But a bug in the interaction between Adblock and Youtube application installed in Chrome, which should be fixed in the next version of the browser. Meanwhile, if you have problems, we must indeed uninstall the application as indicated at the end of the article.

Adblock users know by heart when surfing Youtube, they do not undergo any advertising before watching a video. But that could change soon -apparemment-. Several Twitter users and enthusiasts Adblock have noticed that on the American version of Youtube, the preferred advertisements blocker suddenly stopped working. Worse, they had to undergo a three-minute promotional video (in this case a promo of the new Halo game) before seeing their content, pub it was impossible to cut, unlike traditional Youtube ads.

Google has actually pushed a smart enough way to campaign on its video sharing site, playing a “pre-Video” advertising before launching the desired video. This video having the same status as classic Youtube video, Adblock is unable to make the difference and diffuse.

This technique applies only to Chrome, and apparently has not reached France. Netizens have also found a way to not suffer this long page ad: uninstall the app from Youtube chrome: // apps

However, it is strong. Google may not stop there tomorrow and take new technology initiatives to limit the impact of advertising on Youtube blockers
