I did hear the news about youtube getting rid of adblocks. The first video that I click has an ad and then I refresh again the ads still appear. I turn off and on ublock origin just to make sure it’s working and it blocks the youtube ads. It happened to my dissable youtube shorts plugins as well. Btw I am using firefox.
I’ve noticed it happening in the past.
I suspect there’s a bit of an arms race between uBlock origin and large and networks like Google/YouTube.
So there will always be a short response time between anti-adblock changes made by websites, and the adblockers releasing a way to get around them.
Hopefully any change is temporary.
