@Aragorn

Which of the gazillion files under ~/.config/chromium would that be?

Simply grep for that string and find out . (If there isn’t more than one.)

Sorry for my poor English.

I hope I get it right?
You don’t like Ad’s on other webpages and in YouTube you don’t like seeing these ad’s too?

I use Adguard DNS

I added in my Fritzbox in section DNS-Server
Default servers
AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers.
IPv4:
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::ad1:ff
2a10:50c0::ad2:ff

Since than I have no ad’s any more.

You can’t grep for something that isn’t there.

Well, that’s only half of the problem, really. The problem is that YouTube will not allow me to view any videos because of my ad blocker while I’m logged into my YouTube account, but it does not object to my ad blocker when I’m not logged in, and the ad blocker works just the same.

All I know is, as the Germany Webpage
Deskmodder.de/blog search youtube
that YouTube is trying all for their Premium and Premium Lite stuff.
Since I added Adguard DNS, my Internet is Ad free and even YouTube.
And uBlock Origin still function an all my other chromium Browsers
(Brave, MS Edge and Vivaldi) with me.

You don’t have to:

grep kwallet ~/.config/chromium/*

absoultely, it isnt there unless you put it there.

sorry for half a$$ed reply, i meant this configuration(user-custom) file;

~/.config/chromium-flags.conf

reference; Chromium - ArchWiki
(FYI; does far more than making flags persistant)
chromium; forcing a password-store

No problem with my Firefox Settings and NoScript/Ublock Origins at all.

Well, firefox is a different thing to chromium. The latter was created and is maintained by Google themselves.

Anyway, I’ve set the ad blocker to a less aggressive level now, and now I can watch videos again while logged into my YouTube account, so I’ll mark this thread as solved.

I just wanted to hint that there is still a way out… if you willing to change your browser.

But since you found a solution for chromium, thats okay too.
