Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it's just a matter of time though 😕

    uBlock Origin is reliably blocking the blocker blocker for me at this time, though a few popups got through a couple weeks ago.

    Same, uBlock in Firefox is doing it 100% for me. Haven't even seen a youtube ad or a complaint that I should stop blocking ads.

    Well if you are using Firefox, you obviously life the easy life. But what about the Edge or Chrome users here? Habe some respect for those poor guys.

    I feel sorry for Chrome/Chromium users who can't even use real ad-blockers because Google is scared of uBlock Origin and deprecated MV2

    Brave is dropping the ball. It's the only mobile option.

    I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android. Isn't there the same for iOS?
