With Vanced, even better was the ability to log in and watch YouTube on Huawei devices, something that you could only do in a browser otherwise. While advertisements are part-and-parcel of any online service these days, alternatives such as Vanced offer a whole lot more than just advertisement blocking.įeatures that alternatives include are things such as more granular video playback options, device spoofing (which was helpful in bypassing restrictions), bringing back the YouTube dislike button, SponsorBlock, and more.

Despite paying for a YouTube Premium subscription, many of us also used to use Vanced for the additional features that it offered. YouTube is a platform we all know and love, but it's one that doesn't necessarily provide you with all of the features you may want out of the box. A cat and mouse game that's impossible to win.As well as the content of some of the ads. However, the implementation can be fairly annoying. I don't even mind the idea of ads, since it helps the content providers. Thank you for the more detailed response. NoScript does not have the functionality to adapt to these Youtube changes, and adding it is outside the scope of NoScript. If the site is malicious, it can just move the untrustworthy stuff to where the trustworthy stuff was, so there is no security gain by having that level of granularity.

NoScript is only a security tool, and from a security standpoint, there is no ' I trust this resource from this site but not this other resource from the same site', and definitely no ' I trust this part of this resource but not this other part'. The ads are loaded by the same scripts as loads the videos, and are mostly loaded from the same origins as the main site and videos. I'm answering from the standpoint of being affected by this too and being a volunteer moderator here.
