I had to switch to uBlock Origin Lite recently, and it works just as well on youtube as the full version did.
FireFox, FireFox with custom user.js, any FireFox forks, basically any Chrome forks, they all can use the much better uBlock Origin.
The Lite version isn't better in any way, there's only downsides. It doesn't have like less code or whatever for being "Lite", the main thing is that it is severely limited on the number of websites and ad providers it can work on. It also has limitations on how adblocking works, on the places it does adblock.
But you're right, YouTube is a massive site, so it's on the list, and the tech they develop for the original for YouTube works on the Lite version too.
For sure, but luckily there's zero difference between the two for what I'm using my laptop for. If someone had switched without me knowing I probably wouldn't even have noticed.
use one of the reskin chromes instead of actual chrome and the 100% real sugar ublock origin still works.
