ATTENTION

[!NOTE]
YouTube changes their detection scripts regularly. That means that sometime you can face the detection message. If all the following instructions do not work, please email [email protected] or wait until any update is available.

[!CAUTION] Please do not use another adblocker in the same time because using another adblocker can delay/lags the YouTube loading (e.g., AdBlock Plus and AdBlock)^1 OR interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality.

[!CAUTION] Please do not use an userscript related to the bypassing YouTube detection message like TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing. Recently, YouTube anti-adblock script added infinite dummy advertisements to try to neutralize the userscript. ( TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing#264 )

[!WARNING] Please check that there no another web browser extension that has adblocking feature is enabled on your web browser. It can interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality.

[!IMPORTANT]
Saving memory feature of your web browser or sleep feature of your operating system can interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality. In this case, please re-enable AdGuard's filtering by toggling the protection toggle. Following the instructions can be needed.

The instructions

Force to update the filters by clicking the reload button in AdGuard Browser Extension/AdGuard mobile or update tray menu in your system tray. [^2]
Reload the YouTube webpage without cache by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R [^3].
Clear cache, cookies and site data of your web browser.
Re-open your web browser completely (checking your system monitor[^4] will be better).

I got this after playing about 10 songs in the background. Maybe if you change your YouTube interface language to English, you can find the relevant code without having to wait for it?

Edit: it's not based on the number of videos, but on how long you've been playing videos in the background. It just paused again in the middle of a long DJ set.

Not reproduced ads or anti-adblock. Please make sure that another ad blockers or privacy settings does not affect filtering.

I suggest this issue to be pinned, as a lot of us use YouTube and there are many duplicate issues regarding the website.

And also to be more easily viewed :)

Hello I’m sending about this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Adguard/s/bgnUkoINr5

I have slow video loading on YouTube with account sign in

I have the issue but only when I sign in to YouTube. If I log out everything works fast it should. I tested Safari with AdGuard for Mac and for Safari and other adblocker to test all has the same result, I tested Firefox too with AdGuard and other Adblock and it’s the same….

Before everything works with account sign…. I reinstall my os too to ensure the system stability but it’s the same issue. Username: @Wolf1King

Kiedy włączony jest Adguard, wszystkie filmy na YouTube bardzo długo się ładują zanim się włączą. Prawdopodobnie tak długo jak trwają reklamy. Przez ten czas jest czarny ekran.
