    Alphabet’s cracking down on blocking YouTube ads - nothing works at the moment that I’ve found. So, no YouTube, cause that shit’s a dumpster fire without functional adblock. I mean, it’s a dumpster fire anyway, but it’s at least trash I can sort through.

      Unlock origin on Firefox on my devices haven’t seen an ad yet

      Throw in sponsor block and you miss in video ads too. Unless the vid was released like 5 mins ago

      I have Adblock and uBlock Origin on Chrome and never see YouTube ads. I assume uBlock Origin does the trick alone. (I know I should switch back to Firefox, but I’m too lazy if it’s working.)

      I watch youtube daily and haven’t seen an ad in I don’t know how long. I use only firefox with ublock origin for adblocking.

      Adblock Plus still works for me on YouTube. I click a video, and when it loads there’s a quick flash where the ad would have played then the video starts. So it looks like it’s just autoskipping them quickly without displaying anything. Not even the 5 second thing happens.
