YouTube's dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there's an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

Serious question: what is the best add blocker right now? I've been using ublock origin, but it doesn't seem to be working that well these days.
uBlock-Origin on Firefox.
Counterpoint... Invidious...
I throw all my links into piped if I'm on desktop, no need to have an additional sponsorblock or RYD extension that way
ublock origin by far. Just refresh the filter list every now and then.
To be absolutely sure no one gets this wrong - uBlock Origin is what you want. Not just uBlock.
To be even absolutelier sure no one gets this wrong - use uBlock Origin on Firefox (or one of it's forked versions) because every other Browser runs chromium under it's hood which heavily restricts ad blocking abilities
Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I'll be moving over to it with extensions.
Pls consider editing and making it unlock origin. They are different and someone who won't know better will get the wrong one :)
Done. Thanks for lmk
I apologize for my strongopinion but I believe yours is misguided or similar. Ublock origin is objectively the best ad blocker , they are an extremely talented team, dedicated and have been for a long long time.
The enemy is getting stronger, not the defense not working well.
:)
Thanks!
Hell yeah brother
Apparently you need to clear the plugin's cache semi-regularly.
As sometimes it won't update itself as fast.
That makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
Vinegar + SponsorBlock on iOS/iPadOS/MacOS.
