Issues with YouTube while Privacy Badger is enabled are rarely caused by Privacy Badger. However, try temporarily [disabling Privacy Badger for YouTube](#I-found-a-bug%21-What-do-I-do-now) and check if that resolves the issue. If disabling Privacy Badger for YouTube fixes the issues, check if re-enabling Privacy Badger breaks YouTube again. If that’s the case, please [reach out to us directly](#I-found-a-bug%21-What-do-I-do-now). We'd be happy to investigate further.
Is YouTube not working? Try [disabling Privacy Badger](#I-found-a-bug%21-What-do-I-do-now) on YouTube. If that resolved the issue, see if re-enabling Privacy Badger breaks YouTube again. If YouTube went back to not working, please [tell us](#I-found-a-bug%21-What-do-I-do-now) so we can look into what's going on.

Are you surprised that advertisements arent being blocked on YouTube? Privacy Badger is primarily a privacy-protecting tool, [not an ad blocker](#Why-doesn%27t-Privacy-Badger-block-all-ads). YouTube advertisements are not blocked because they are not using [third party” sites to track you](#What-is-a-third-party-tracker). You can learn more about why Privacy Badger primarily protects against "third party" (rather than "first party") tracking [here](#What-about-tracking-by-the-sites-I-actively-visit%2c-like-NYTimes.com-or-Facebook.com).
Are you surprised that ads aren't being blocked on YouTube? Privacy Badger is primarily a privacy tool, [not an ad blocker](#Why-doesn%27t-Privacy-Badger-block-all-ads). When you [visit YouTube directly](#What-about-tracking-by-the-sites-I-actively-visit%2c-like-NYTimes.com-or-Facebook.com), Privacy Badger does not block ads on YouTube because YouTube does not use ["third party" trackers](#What-is-a-third-party-tracker). If you really dislike ads, you can also install a traditional ad blocker.
