    Leave that YouTube tab open open for a day and see how many thousands of items uBlock has blocked.

      I see absolutely insane numbers on Google docs, 10000+ blocked. My total per year is now over 5 million. A lot more intense than a few years ago, where it took multiple years to reach 3 million.

        Holy shit, I have multiple tabs open and have only been using Firefox as my default browser for about 1.5 3-months (August 9th). Each YouTube tab has over 10k blocks and lifetime blocks since installation is over 4.1 million!

        Edit: found the document I made in Obsidian to plan my move from Brave to Firefox and the created data is August 9th.

      Yup, I left youtube up on my laptop all day today and this is ublocks total. It’s fucking crazy that some people don’t bother with adblockers
