I did hear the news about youtube getting rid of adblocks. The first video that I click has an ad and then I refresh again the ads still appear. I turn off and on ublock origin just to make sure it’s working and it blocks the youtube ads. It happened to my dissable youtube shorts plugins as well. Btw I am using firefox.

    I’ve noticed it happening in the past.

    I suspect there’s a bit of an arms race between uBlock origin and large and networks like Google/YouTube.

    So there will always be a short response time between anti-adblock changes made by websites, and the adblockers releasing a way to get around them.

    Hopefully any change is temporary.

      Sounds about right, so usually when uBlock Origin is “acting up”, one possible reason is because a website changed its code, possibly specifically to defeat ad-blockers.

      So, the usual first response is to go into the options and update all the filter lists.
