For what it’s worth, Ublock Origin seems the most unaffected by this latest attempt. A lot of people I’m seeing are finding success just by switching from other blockers to UO.
Yeah I’ve yet to get this with Ublock. It warms my heart to know that the professional coders at a multi-billion dollar company can’t outfox some open source devs who are just really determined to not have to look at ads. lol
Those open source devs are the chadiest of chads
Sadly, some users who use UO report the same thing is happening with them: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1jbv1xn/youtube_ads_detection_breakages_2025_megathread/miz9q7x/
I got the YouTube premium family plan a long time ago. Been worth every penny for the amount of YouTube we watch.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but if there was one streaming service I was gonna pay for it’d be YT premium. You can pirate everything else pretty easily.
