"ad blocks you back youtube" what's this one about? I must have missed it?
YouTube tests fighting ad blockers with 3-strike rule
oh yikes. if youtube starts preventing me from watching videos I'll probably start using an alternative platform. Though I have a pretty rigorous adblock setup on my browser, and I haven't seen an ad in probably years lol. Sponsorblock is also great.
Vanilla Opera on my android 6 and 13 devices is enough to stop all YouTube ads for me. Duckduckgo browser allows one ad at the start of the video on my android 6, but two (and sometimes midroll) on my android 13 for some reason.
Youtube is trying to ban ad blockers. Which is dumb, but ya know, profit?
Dunno, I haven't seen anything pop up in Firefox running uBlock Origin, on either desktop or mobile (hint hint)
