|
 |
For a week or two now I've noticed that every time I pause a Youtube video, either embedded or on Youtube itself, a bottom "recommendations bar" pops up. I can close it, but it's always back the next time I hit pause.
Two questions:
1. What is this fucking abomination called? Obviously NOT a recommendations bar according to Google.
2. How do I purge this fucking thing with holy hellfire so that I never have to lay eyes on it again?

Try adding an extension to Chrome (assuming you care to use Chrome as your browser) called:
uBlock Origin
As an alternative you can consider:
uBlock Adblock Plus

Already using uBlock Origin and NoScript on Firefox.

I'm curious. Does it appear if you browse YouTube in Incognito mode, even with your Ad blocker extension of choice activated?

Yes it does. Neither incognito mode in Chrome or private mode in Firefox seems to have any impact on it.

It pisses me off as well. I use the entire surface to click for play/pause. Ever since that fucking bar appeared I keep getting redirected because I accidentally click something. I guess that was intentional by design. It's not there for me when watching videos on youtube though, only when they are embedded on other pages.

Just curious again.
Did you happen to receive, and install the recent much-debated Windows 10 "Creator update"? If so, can you remember experiencing this before that update?
and...
Is this issue isolated to YouTube, the desktop version - and you've not seen it occur elsewhere at all (IE other sites not associated with YouTube)?
One way to gather data on this for us. If you force the YouTube dekstop version of the site and service into flash player mode, for example by disabling your preferred browser's (IE Chrome) HTML5 using a browser extension, say, for example something like the "Disable Youtube™ HTML5 Player" (Chrome), after adding the extension, do a full restart of the browser re-visit YouTube like you normally would ::
If you managed to reject HTML5:
Is the bar still appearing for you in a way an Ad block extension is unable to deny it?

I have this too, cursing each time I hit one of the thumbnails.. Also - since about 2-3 weeks, both prior to Creators update and after. Weird thing is - it only shows on embedded players, not on YT itself.

It also shows up during the last seconds of playback, super retarded, especially on videos which are really short. It just hides shit.
IDIOTS!!!!

Is it? It keeps you watching you tube. It recommends you what you could watch next.

If anyone's still struggling with that: add
| Code: | | ##.ytp-pause-overlay |
to your filters in ublock / adblock. Seems to work

What what? I didn't block the bar by other means (additional extensions etc.) and finally found a solution based on adblocks So I thought I'd share.
