YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround
-
Yeah that explains why "people" vote for Trump
Not here I'm in the UK
-
The workaround: Switch from Adblock Plus to uBlock Origin.
ABP has had random issues that break it often for years now. It's crap.
ABP has also been owned and run by a shady investment firm for the past decade.

You see how often growing youtubers complain about more than 85% of their viewers are not subscribed to the channel, or how just some videos have more views than their main content? The issue is that Invidious doesn't have the algorithm Youtube provides to everyone, and that not a lot of people really watch their subscribed page.

Why would you have an account in that hellhole?

I don't mean you voted for Trump. I'm just being sarcastic for those who don't care much about things

Oh I know... but my point is that the average person cares little about a browser but cares a lot about getting rif of youtube ads

Guys this content was by boomers for boomers
Tom's Hardware sold out looong ago, sold in 2007 to some faceless consortium. The original "Tom", Thomas Pabst, who is GenX and not a boomer btw, has had nothing to do with the site since.
The editor of this article looks to be a millennial btw.
boomer is a state of mind

I noticed yesterday and it’s also affecting other sites where Google serves ads, like Reddit.

No uBlock on my phone.

I don’t use Chrome so whatever they did is affecting Adblock elsewhere too.

Firefox on Android has it.
But if you're on iOS you'd better speak to Tim Apple about it, assuming he's finished noshing off Trump.

You can have it on iOS as well. Use Orion browser instead of safari and install UBO from the firefox addons store

As much as I hate to say it, if on iOS use Brave. You can disable the crypto shit, but it’s got the best adblocking on iOS, and paywall bypass built in.

It doesn’t work properly… Orion still really falls short. I use Brave on iOS just because of Adblock and paywall bypass.

Stop using Adblock Plus and start using Firefox with uBlock Origin.
If you’re on iOS, swallow your pride and install Brave and just turn off the crypto features. You’ll thank me later.

Oh, well I haven't had problems so far with Orion+UBO!

ublock origin non-lite is the shit to go to
Lite was delibaretly in brackets

So my parents use chrome even though I constantly install Firefox and hide chrome. Problem there is they end up with Edge so I stopped doing that. (Didn't windows get in trouble for this kind of market control in the 90's?)
So I had Ublock origin on chrome for them but it's "not supported" anymore and my usual method of ignoring what it says and turning it back on are now failing.
Any help?

Setup a firewall and black access to websites where they're able to download other browsers. Then change the icon for Firefox to Chrome's icon. For bonus points, you can probably find a firefox theme to make it look more like chrome.
