Opt-out didn't actually opt-out of certain features of the ad deal. For example, YouTube's Up Next list contained risqué Sponsored videos at the top of the list. Prior to the deal they could be blocked. After the deal they couldn't, not even with AdBlock Extensions.
- def_true_false 9y agoGood to know. I can't remember the last time I've seen an ad on youtube that didn't go away after updating the block list. I've since switched to UBO for performance reasons, but as far as I can tell ABP always did exactly what it said on the tin. Edit: I haven't actually spent enough time with the opt-out unchecked to come across one of these. I suppose it's the nature of the implementation - unless you have humans reviewing the ads or something of the sort, you'll never be able to filter them with 100% certainty.
