Update 1/16 - Adblock has informed BleepingComputer that its engineers fixed the problem and released ABP 3.22.1 and AB 5.17.1 on the Opera and Edge extension stores. The same versions are currently in review on the Mozilla and Chrome add-on stores, and should be made available soon.
Until Youtube no longer loads period with an ad blocker people will still use them and even then people will find back doors to prevent the firehose of ads Google wants to subject you to. They wanted a monopoly and now they are big mad they have to deal with the consequences of that decision
I don’t know why anyone even uses the YouTube app. Newpipe has always worked for me and I’ve never seen an ad once and always can watch in whatever resolution I want.
Yeah newpipe is so good its not even close. Play in the background feature with custom playlists without needing an account is just the best.
