YouTube cracks down (again) on ad blockers, frustrating users

[DanteSmith]

which browser are you using
Some browsers come with one built in so you don't need to install an adblocking extension.

Edge. That shouldn't be the case, I see ads on other sites. Youtube is indeed bugged.

What? Keeping Youtube afloat?
Somebody might think YouTube/Google/Alphabet is about to declare bankruptcy, when they are earning like bazillion bucks/day!!!

Which is why we should change that.

If you must use Edge, you can still install uBlock extension.

I haven't seen ads on Youtube in years. I HATE television ads and I won't put up with much of that on YT. TV ads are generally so mindless, uncreative, and lacking in inteligence I often feel insulted watching them. If ads on YT become a problem, I have no problem leaving youtube. There is nothing there I can't live without.

So don't use edge find another browser and install uBlock Origin problem solved

Well probably Opera already incorporating manifest V3 and all Chromium based shite will suffer the same fate by July at the latest. Firefox will continue to support v2 and why I support it.

DoJ needs to ramp up it's breakup of Google.

BTW what happens on Safari? Never used it for YT I just realised. Is ublock available from the Apple Store?

No, and none of blockers work either. Good thing Apple allows other browsers as default now, and some support blockers without extensions. Only Safari can have extensions in I[pad]OS
