SmartTubeNext on FireTV stick, ReVanced on the phone and Firefox/uBlock origin on the PC. I've only seen the news about this elusive change. At this point I'm curious which ad blockers are not working and what their market share is.

    ublock actually IS affected by this. I've had it multiple times, that I got blocked. However the uBlock team is extremely fast at adding better filters, and each time I had the problem it only took about an hour until it worked again (though I needed to update the filters manually, since that is normally done only once a day)

    So if you weren't watching YT right in those one hour intervalls you wouldn't have noticed it.
