Youtube is telling me daily that they'll soon disable my youtube because I have an ad blocker. Still waiting for it to actually happen.

    I've been using Ublock origin for years and I've never seen a message like that

    correct me if I'm wrong, but I think ublock origin updates quickly enough to remove these notifications before most users see them

    It often does, yeah. Not always though. I got one of the adblock warnings last night, and it refused to play the video. I fixed it by heading into ublock settings and manually updating. It always makes me laugh how rapidly the ad-blocker arms war progresses

    Same here. And I’m waiting for them to finally do it because it’ll free up so much of my time. I might start reading books again.

    Also, it’s the last Google-service I’m using. So, banning me from it will allow me to finally delete my Google account.
