Guys, just FYI - other adblocks still work. I’m using Ghostery on Vivaldi (Chromium-based) and it works perfectly fine, including blocking ads during YouTube videos.
No idea why uBlock specifically is being blocked, but it’s not like you can’t have an ad-blocker anymore.
ublock has a lite version on chrome browsers that still works. but normal ublock is much better. ubo lite and other blockers are hiding the ads, but their lists can’t be updated so quickly.
but also, ublock origin is not just an ad blocker. it is a wide range content blocker, also efficient at blocking trackers and limiting fingerprinting. the browser API limitations that make it not work on chrome also means that it can’t do all that anymore, and it is really just a cosmetic ad blocker
Also things like pfblocker/pihole. Pfblocker has made it shocking to see someone else use the Internet.
For one thing UBO, if you take the time to (turn on and) learn the advanced user mode, will let you customize interactions site-by-site, and remember your choices for years.EG I regulary use the zapper and eyedropper to get rid of stuff other than ads. It’s also easy to turn on/off site-by-site.
The man deserves a medal for the time he’s put in literally saving the internet for so many millions.
Essential for the ongoing battle of trying to keep shorts and recommended the fuck off of my YouTube subscription feed.
It’s a subscription feed. Ffs, just show me the most recent videos from the creators I’m subscribed to, in chronological order of release. The home page is for recommended videos
Even uBO works, but it’s cut down from what it once was
Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t uBlock the most capable adblock, with others coming close but not reaching it?
