# uBlock Origin
|
|
|
|
[uBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com) is a free and open-source [browser](/wiki/web_browser.md)
|
|
extension fof ad blocking.
|
|
It is available for most browsers like [Firefox](/wiki/firefox.md), its derivatives like
|
|
[Zen](/wiki/zen_browser.md), Chrome, and Chromium based browsers like Edge, Brave and many more.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
The setup of the [browser](/wiki/web_browser.md) extension of uBlock Origin is based on the browser
|
|
used and can vary slightly.
|
|
For [Firefox](/wiki/firefox.md) it can be found in the
|
|
[addon page](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ublock-origin) and many other browser
|
|
follow this pattern.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
This section will focus on errors and the fixing of errors of uBlock Origin.

|
### YouTube Videos Do Not Load
|
|
|
|
In general [YouTube](/wiki/youtube.md) videos can be viewed with uBlock Origin removing the
|
|
advertisements.
|
|
It is however possible that is also blocks YouTube from loading the videos altogether.
|
|
Most of the times this can be fixed easily as explained in a
|
|
[Reddit post by orestaras](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1hipkzh/ublock_origin_no_longer_works_on_youtube).
|
|
Open the dashboard in the extension menu.
|
|
Under the tab `Filter List`, extend `Built-in` and uncheck `uBlock filters - Quick fixes`.
|
|
Afterwards reload the page containing the YouTube video and it should load normally and without
|
|
advertisements.
