Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

Has anybody else not seen an ad yet? I'm wondering if it's because I'm using Enhancer for youtube which also has an adblocking function 🤔

I haven't seen any anti adblock things on youtube if that's what you mean

For a day I got the no video but audio playing ads.

On my Shield where I don't have uBlock Origin, I get bombarded with ads.

We need an economic system change. We should go beyond the data economy and find new sustainable ways to develop software and platforms and social networks. uBO won't win alone vs Google, unless they stop challenging it over technology
