Hi, I hope you don't mind if I abuse your issue tracker for this query. We're planning to use your script for Epiphany's adblocker because it works with no changes and is licensed GPLv3+ (thanks!). However, since it adds the text "with AdGuard" next to the YouTube logo, I wonder if you would prefer us to (a) do nothing and retain the AdGuard branding, or (b) debrand it. (a) gets you a little free advertising, I suppose. (b) ensures Epiphany users won't think AdGuard is to blame if the script breaks in the future, or for other problems with Epiphany's adblocker (it's just EasyList in content blocker form, which doesn't seem to be maintained super well).

If we don't hear back soon, we'll probably include it with your branding intact. Anyway, happy to respect your preferences here. Thanks again for making this open source!

Similar to Shortcut available for YouTube site, can we have something for music.YouTube.com as well? I must say, the shortcut on YT site works flawlessly, thanks. I was wondering if it’s scope could be expanded for music also.

For older devices which are still good as fixed youtube screens (my use case). Attempting to add the shortcut gives a "Format Too New" error.

According to Google Support article, YouTube also uses the domain www.youtube-nocookie.com to serve videos (and ads!). We should add support for this domain in https://github.com/AdguardTeam/BlockYouTubeAdsShortcut/blob/2898c2a16fc1da1fb6667f45e0276a56e08cab66/index.js#L133-L146

Just a suggestion, Changing from Alert to notification removes the need of clicking OK, which kind of becomes frustrating each time shortcut is run. I did few mods, but one strange thing I noticed. When the script is run, it changes the contents of page within a second but it takes almost 3s for shortcut to complete and send notification. Not sure if it is an issue with Shortcuts app itself.

any ideas ?

I ain’t that familiar with shortcuts and different options that we have but I was trying to run this particular shortcut with automation on condition as follows - On opening safari, if url contains “YouTube” run this shortcut else nothing. I failed at this likely because Im missing some concept here.

The error I got stated, No web page found, cant run shortcut. I tried many things around this, but couldn’t get through. Any ideas?

also, “with AdGuard” seems a bit too long, any shorter version will be appreciated. I changed it to “AG” for convenience in the script 😅

Hi,

I am observing a few different issues on different Macs and an iPad with this script/shortcut:

On iPad Pro with iPadOS 16.2 RC (and before) the battery drains very fast when using the script in youtube --> 12Min video 5-10% battery drain. Sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less. It does not matter if I integrate the .js with apps like Hyperweb or userscripts or use the shortcuts. Sometimes it is better, sometimes it is worse.

On 3 different Macs M1 (16GB RAM), M1 Pro(16GB RAM), M2(8GB RAM) running Ventura (13.0.1 and current betas tested) I am facing the issue, that after a few mins, the youtube tasks fills up my memory with sometimes ~1GB or RAM usage, and in worst cases up 7GB usage. If I disable the .js or refresh the site, if used with the siri shortcuts action, it stays low as ~500MB for the same task with the same video.

Any explanation, why this script uses so many resources? And if it is related to the script and/or iPadOS/macOS, is there a way to integrate it into adguard home directly?

thx in advance for any help!

Can auto play be made optional? The issue I noticed is as follows - Play video with AdGuard extension Open new tab Play another video with AdGuard extension 1st video stops, expected but sometimes may not be desirable On closing the new video tab, if tab switched to old video, old video starts playing but the play button still shows status as paused. And it takes a couple of taps if old video has to be paused.

TLDR: request to make autoplay optional or be removed.
