404media.co
Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.
This brings me, I think, to the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Google has its hands on quite literally every aspect of this entire saga as a vertically integrated adtech giant.
This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.

This works! Firefox + ublock did not.
Firefox + ublock definitely works.
You are right. I updated ublock and now it works.
Yeah I just switched back to ff from chrome and YouTube has never sent me their little warning on ff
Not always. Adnauseam makes the anti-adblock bullshit think you're clicking on ads.
There's also adguard for desktop which filters ads through a mechanism that's outside of your browser, which makes it much more difficult for things running inside web pages to fuck with it.
