    Oddly enough, I keep seeing people reporting that Youtube is blocked for them if they use ad blockers, or that they are now seeing ads regardless, but… it still works fine for me, using ublock origin on Firefox

      I also have auto update on both firefox and ublock origin (firefox macos) and if I am sleepless sleepless and pulling up youtube around 1am-4am youtube seems to push updates around then and I’ll see the skip ad button or the yellow ad timer bar with no video or sound. It appears that, as predicted by some in a previous thread about this topic, that there is an arms race between the ublock and youtube devs

      inshallah-script the powerful devs at ublock maintain their struggle
