Hello members and TheLonelyCoder.
I just wanted to say it seems this experimental utube mechanism works great so far.
During its installation I was told to watch a tube clip with an ad or two and then after that there were no ads.
I started edge browser and watched about 100 clips and I got no ads.
My Samsung TV which is a UE32J6275 with built-in utube displayed an add and then I started more then 100 clips without any ads.
my iPhoneSE visiting utube in safari also seems to work.
My Sony KDL65W855A however using built-in utube throws an "internal browser error" and promts user to exit utube.
This is supposedly because Sony wants to connect to ad doubleclick, google or whatever otherwise it throws a tantrum.
Overall I think utube ad-block works good even in this experimental stage.
I like the idea having a separate mechanism for utube and maybe in time more separate specialised blockers could be added.
A special thanks to TheLonelyCoder and everyone else involved in these type of developments.

The YouTube video ads blocker would only block the inline video ads. The overlay static ads are blocked by the regular Diversion blocking which I believe you think the YT video ads blocking feature does. However, this feature does not work and will be removed with the next Diversion release.
 
Thanks for answering.
Yes I think most modern youtube TVs get upset when they cant display the static add shown at the top
when starting youtube in TVs.
If I have understood it correctly, you will remove diversions ability to block static ads when yt-blocker is enabled?
 
I believe the yt-blocker will be removed entirely. It was experimental when introduced, now it will be depreciated.
