    Good news. Apparently, some users reported difficulty in getting it to work. Has anybody here done it successfully?

    I'm using Firefox 54.0.1 (X64) with ublock origin and the video plays okay. Does take a few seconds to start though.

    I'd rather not see the video than disable my adblocker

    Adblock now whitelists a lot of adds and got compromised by that. No-one needs an add blocker that does this.

    uBlock Origin is the only valid alternative (additionally good to prevent several IP leaks in browsers).

    Hmm so, Adblock Plus is not good anymore as an real Adblocker extension, but what about uBlock origin? can you or somebody give me more details why uBlock origin is more popular, and more wanted by users and why they are recommend it so much to other people :O because i will try to use uBlock origin, iknow it's more than an Adblocker it's like a Firewall for a Browser but i will know more about it .. :( help me please ..

    It is stricter in its blocking rules and can nicely be configured. Even @Daz uses it and he's very critical in that regards.

    I really do not know what you are looking for when you make these threads @Doghen This is the 2nd thread where you were giving an answer and yet somehow still feel as though you've not been answered (no offense).

    uBlock Origin
    • More sources (more ads blocked)
    • Does not get paid to sneakily ignore sources (such as Adblock Plus)
    • Is open source (can view the code used)
    • Uses fewer resources (low impact on your system and browser)
    • Works with Firefox, Opera, and Chrome (compatibility)
    If that is not enough of a reason, I do not understand what is it that you seek.
