Of course, I have this option active, I do not flag a possible failure without first making sure to check and rule out the possibility of a false alarm.
Local files load perfectly, I never said they don't. However, I just realized something about this: As the links are currently displayed, it is through a new window (they are not refreshed, on the same page as the file upload), at the end of the upload, the website (AbStream) tries to automatically open (without the user having clicked on any link), a new pop-up window, that is when the browser asks the user for permission to open it, if the user does not realize that there is a request, the window does not open, because The site is trying to open pop-ups without permission.
I remain very attentive, I hope they are willing to solve the indicated failure, related to the anti-blocking system, for ad blockers, and illegitimate traffic sources such as VPN, proxy, etc. (Bug #18); because currently all browsers, no matter how simple they are, implement a small blocking of trackers and ads, active by default (which in the end do not block anything, because the advertising networks easily outwit them), then, the "anti-ad blocker and VPN traffic" system, at this moment is inefficient and allows the playback of the video (without caring whether or not the user received ads, or whether or not they are using a VPN connection); but the funny thing about this is that when it goes to determine whether or not it should count the visit (playback) as profit for the uploader, then suddenly, this system becomes excessively efficient and of course, it immediately discards it (for obvious reasons), but as I already said, maybe it gave it amnesia to block the playback of the video.
Also, I hope it will be resolved soon, related to the progress value of the remote uploading/encoding queue reported by the API (Bug #10)

Update: I just tested again and it seems that they have corrected most of the problems related to bug #18.
However, in Firefox, with Ublock Origin active, the anti-blocking system is still stupid and allows the video to be played, without any problem; On the contrary, if I deactivate Ublock Origin, the anti-blocking system for VPN and Ad-blocker work perfectly again. I don't know if the same thing is happening with adblock as with uBlock, but I suppose so, because they work practically the same way.
If you ask me about AdGuard paid version (which is the best there is), AbStream's anti-blocking system, I think it has always worked perfectly.
Thank you so much !!
