AllowAllRequests for Youtube

[Karim Villard]

Hello,

because of Youtube Anti-Ad block, i want to allow all requests on Youtube for my custom Ad blocker, but the rules i set don't seem to work and everything is still blocked on youtube.
Could you point me in the right direction :
(on top of what's below i have also tried to set requestDomains from id 2 to id 3 and 4 but it did not change anything.

i found my answer, i guess i did not understand the allow, vs excludeDomains so here's the answer for those as confused as me :
 "excludedRequestDomains": ["youtube.com"],
          "excludedInitiatorDomains": ["youtube.com"]

Indeed, excludedRequestDomains + excludedInitiatorDomains is the proper solution here, but the previous solution could work just as well, but didn't work because you've used the wrong URL in urlFilter. The correct urlFilter should be https://www.youtube.com, but you were deceived by Chrome's controversial decision to hide the so-called "trivial" subdomains like "www". You can restore the proper display by right-clicking inside the address bar and then ticking "Always show full URLs".

Another problem was that your urlFilter didn't anchor the pattern, so it would also incorrectly match https://example.com/?foo=https://youtube.com and https://youtube.company/. The best solution is "requestDomains":["youtube.com"], the next best one is a smart "urlFilter": "||youtube.com/" where / anchors the host part and || matches the domain itself and any sub-domains.
