    For me nothing changed because I use Ublock Origin. I never had to update anything ever. All this drama is coming from people using inferior adblockers like Adblock Plus, Brave Browser, and Ublock.

    YouTube has been working perfectly for me these past few months; same as always. If I didn’t use social media, I’d have no idea that there was ever an issue.

      50 yo sysadmin using uBo, had the same issue as the other fellow. Don’t be so dismissive, you are not the average case.

      Well I did get the warning several times while using Firefox + uBlock Origin and I had to manually go update the “quick fixes” filters in order to get it to work again. I did have other add-ons for YouTube aswell but no other adblockers.

      Funny, I still have yet to see ads or performance changes and I’ve been using Vivaldi with no ad blocker but the built in one.

      Guess that answers whether it has a better ad blocker than Brave.

      I didn’t even know know there was a non Origin version of uBlock and I’ve had the same problems as everyone else

      On my laptop I actually have AdGuard (I think? The one with the hedgehog mascot) and that has never given me any ads

      It’s really a case by case basis
