Since May, YouTube has ramped up its block of ad blockers and the company has now fully launched this policy worldwide...

    It’s all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

    As of writing this Adblock Plus isn’t working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

      I have Ad Guard installed and still use UBlock Origin for its features.

      I’m still waiting for Google to ban uBlock Origin from the Chrome addon store.

        @drwho @xoggy yeah eh. Maybe it has such a unique footprint it just opens up more tracking opportunities through fingerprinting. 🙃

          I think they just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
