Ha, I was thinking the same but we are probably the minority.

I am getting so sick of this fucked up world.

Yes, in "medium blocking mode" ublock origin blocks those domains.

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah I get that as well when I don't use ublocks medium mode. The crucial part here is the medium mode since that blocks youtbe.com and google.com domains by default.

Thanks for the info tho.

ok, thanks for the confirmation, looks like there is no option to achieve what I want.

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean sure, but "to get the preview to work" means I have to globally unblock google.com and youtube.com which means all sites can track me at that point which I am not willing to accept. I think you have those two domains not blocked? Otherwise I don't see how it could work, no matter if you use the "embedded option" in libredirect or not.

Thanks for testing it!

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I have exactly the same setup as you, I also use librewolf and all sites that have embedded youtube (or any embedded video) don't work.

This one for example: https://www.androidauthority.com/hands-on-one-ui-7-home-up-3522949/

With medium mode enabled I just have a white space in the middle of the article. When I manually allow "youtube.com" and "google.com" the video loads.

Do you get a different behavior?

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That's what I want to do and was my initial question. How do I do that with medium mode enabled?

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

That's what I am doing but it doesn't work for EMBEDDED, which is the point of this post.

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

Not directly. If I select embedded in libredirect it uses invidious and for that to work I have to unblock the urls as well.

 

Hi all,

I use ublock origin in medium blocking mode which blocks a lot of urls by default, google / youtube included. For the longest time I have to unblock, google.com, googlestatic.com, youtube.com (and usually some more) every time I want to watch an embedded video.

I don't use the youtube website in general, I use freetube for all my youtube watching. Libredirect even opens direct youtube links in freetube but it can't handle embedded videos (at least not in a way without unblocking the urls before).

The best solution would be a userscript or extension that replaces all embedded youtube videos with links I can click to open them in freetube. I was surprised I couldn't find something like this. Does anybody know about a solution?

*EDIT: I found a a way to make embedded youtube videos clickable: https://xcancel.com/gorhill/status/1377613397710229506#m

This is straight from the ublock origin developers. Sadly even in this case you have to globally unblock youtube.com and google.com which is a no go for me.

Cheers
