        I’ve been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It’s a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer

          there is mv3 version of ubo here:
          https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

          dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i ‘need to’ look at a yt vid.

          adguard’s free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable ‘acceptable ads’ and ignore offer to ‘upgrade’ to a paid version) is, too.

            “Not as well as uBlock Origin” is the answer to that.

            I got warnings to disable my ad blocker on my Chromebook recently, but did not get the same on my Linux desktop using Firefox.

            I really ought to get away from the default software on the Chromebook (Firefox via Crouton or Android or something), but it didn’t work well last time I tried.

              Is there support for blocking individual elements of a page in v3 version of uBlock Origin? (I won’t be surprised if it lacked it). I usually block various other elements of page like useless headers/footers/comment sections on some sites I routinely visit on Firefox.
