Did they revert that? I saw those for maybe a week. After that, I assume uBlock Origin had already worked around that. Probably the same will happen with mobile clients.
- bambax 2y agoSame here. I don't know about mobile, but on desktop with uBlock Origin I see absolutely zero ads.
- _dark_matter_ 2y agoFirefox on Android has uBlock, and I see no ads. Just change the setting to ask to open in an external app.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoI've never seen ads either, though I did see a total of one message saying I wasn't allowed to watch a video because I had an ad blocker. Lately I've been seeing videos suddenly skip four or five seconds forward occasionally; it's possible that's related to an anti-adblocking effort of some kind.
- Akronymus 2y agoIt mostly impacted ABP users, because UBO just has a much faster turnaround on bypassing adblocker-blockers.
- themoonisachees 2y agoUbo has been working hard to make sure you don't see it. YouTube keeps tweaking it's stuff so that the filters break, presumably on purpose.
