      Threatens, as in, hasn’t happened and may not. Not all threats are true.

      idk how well stuff works on Chrome Mobile. I use a different Chrome-based mobile browser that does allow extensions, and Ublock Origin works great on it. Turns out there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Who knew?

      I’m well read on Manifest v3. I’m also aware of a Ublock Origin version that is designed to work under it. I have it installed and ready to go, for if and when the old one stops working. But that has only been threatened, too, and not even by Google.

      I’m not certain it is just an assumption, but I am also not certain it is a prophecy. Until I get more certain, I’m not going to bust my hump worrying about it. And I’m certainly not going to bellow to the hillsides that we’re all doomed.

      YouTube test threatens to block viewers if they continue using ad blockers

      They can do this without this new API though. Many sites block users if they use ad blockers, have for years, and that’s without this API.

      How well is uBlock Origin working for you in Chrome Mobile?

      Chrome isn’t the only browser on mobiles. If Chrome doesn’t let you block ads and you want to block ads, use a browser that does. Based on your logic, google would have eliminated ad blockers from Android overall already, yet they haven’t.

      The fact is that this new API doesn’t block ad-blockers. Sites can already choose to block access if you have an ad blocker. There’s no change.
