Youtube on Safari stops playing when ad block kicks in.

The last week or so, at the exact time when usually an ad is shown, the video now turns into an error. This happens with several ad block systems, like AdBlock and UBlock. I have it on all my computers, no other extensions are active.


It doesn't happen with other browsers.


Has others seen this too?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

Find an extension that will allow you to whitelist YouTube.


I uninstalled AdBlock. I cannot test this.

Note: YouTube channel whitelisting doesn't work with Safari Content Blocking. That means if you use our Safari extension or the AdBlock for Safari app, you can't whitelist YouTube channels.
