Blocks the "Enhancer for Youtube" Addon

Open Vitamin-X opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

When BlockTube is activated, it wont display the "Enhancer for Youtube" ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ ) gui anymore, but only when the video is direktly opened by the URL or the page is refreshed, soo when clicking on any video it gets displayed again..

feels like it blocks the inclusion at the page start, also when i can see it getting included, even the effects of that addon are still happening, its just missing the gui

Yeah finally troubleshooted this same issue to BlockTube. Getting to the point where it was 50/50 if Enhancer would properly load and I'd have to select the video from History to get it to properly load the extension. Reloading would 100% brick Enhancer on that tap while BlockTube was installed. On the latest version of Firefox and both extensions.

A day later and this actually does not seem to be the case, the problem came back without BlockTube enabled.

a short while later, it started working normaly again, but in the moment it was driving me crazy haha

but now i dont remember if it was an update or something else, i just ignored it for a while until i didn't even notice the it was back

ok it happen more and more often again, when the blocktube plugin is active, the gui for the youtube enhancer didnt get show, or the whole site is gone, only the video player left, no comments no other videos

What I've found works for me every single time, even though I have to do it once a day now whenever the issue starts again is:

In Firefox - Clear your cache for google.com & youtube.com, then close and reopen the browser. That simple, will work without issue for another 24 hours.

i also just notice, that when everything is hidden, i can see my comments that i wrote in that session so far, also when it was under a complete different video.

but at you it works flawlessly too when the plugin is deactivated ? did you notice which cookie it is? or is it really only the cache that gets confused?

EDIT: okay never mind google and youtube got more then 200 entries together ahah

EDIT2: it just worked for like 12 hours here
