As of today 17th March 2026, YouTube is now again detecting it because any video just reloads and hang in an infinite loop. It went normal after I turned Ghostery off (albeit with all ads loading now).

@GhosterySupport said in Ghostery:

Hi @Vlad1Dimov - thank you for reporting this Youtube issue. Indeed, on October 2nd Ghostery extension on all platforms introduced YouTube breakage. The problem is now resolved and ad-blocking should work as expected.

Let us know if you are still experiencing any issues.

Thank you for choosing Ghostery!

Yes, it's working now.

Since today, 2rd October, Ghostery stopped working for YouTube videos as they simply refuses to even load now with Ghostery enabled. I had also uBlock Origin, and when I tried with only it enabled and Ghostery Disabled, YouTube went working for me, for now.
So, Ghostery doesn't work anymore for YouTube, unfortunately.
