Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work

No issues with:

  • Firefox+ uBlock Origin (PC)
  • Freetube (PC)
  • NewPipe (Android)
  • SmartTube (Android/Google TV)

Same, I never saw a single ad on YouTube and I use it a lot

I saw a warning once a while ago on Firefox… and completely forgot this was a thing until I saw this post right now. I’ve had absolutely no issues. I guess I’m lucky…?

I dont think it's luck, Firefox and ublock origin have continued working fine on YouTube for all of the people that I know use it, at least on PC. I think everybody got the warning popup at least once.

Unfortunately, Firefox usage is at an all time low. Google just hasn't had time to get around us.
