I have two tabs open…one is a site that is overtly and actively promoting products to me, with literal links to retailers where I can buy the stuff they’re promoting…the other is YouTube.
Or mine on Vivaldi. It was showing me the notice the other week, but seems to have stopped now. Either they are now time limiting youtube before the ad blocking thing comes back, or uBlock upped the ante.
Your uBlock probably updated. uBlock has pretty much been able to successfully block YouTube’s adblocker block since YouTube started blocking adblockers, so long as you kept the filters updated.
It isn’t blocking my uBlock Origin on Firefox.
Yeah, all Google accomplished with this bullshit was finally getting me to switch from Chrome to Firefox as my main browser on desktop.
Pretty much, also encouraged me to download uBlock, and now I see how many items it blocks from pages like YouTube. Spoiler: It’s a lot.
Right?

The promotional site’s uBlock counter is at 4.
YouTube’s is at…139.
Leave that YouTube tab open open for a day and see how many thousands of items uBlock has blocked.
It does on mine, sometimes, so I clear cache, update uBlock, restart Firefox. In general it blocks them again
