I have pretty much all the lists you could check in and have had no issues with ads.

Download every firefox ad block extension, not just one.

what?

every other person i asked about adblocking said only use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger and don't worry about anything else.

anyways, i completely restarted Firefox itself and that seems to have worked.

Try Privoxy and see if that helps.

It's been a few years since I've personally used it but remember it being pretty nice.

If it's free, sure.

Otherwise, to anyone else who might suggest paid options, fuck no.

I have literally no money or income at the moment

i was told not to use chromium forks?

this is the first time i've had an issue with firefox since i switched from chrome back when google started their whole anti-adblock crusade.

and like i said, i restarted Firefox itself, and the problem went away

My firefox and ublock origin still work fine, but I also don't update ublock every time an update comes out. I'm running v1.61.2. looks like 1.65 is the latest version.

Try librewolf? I've heard it's a great alternative to firefox and it comes with ublock origin build in.

Or just wait until it gets fixed.

YouTube is constantly altering the way ads are delivered or the way they detect adblocking, and they intentionally do not roll out the changes to everyone all at the same time. That's why you often see others claiming everything works on their end despite everything on your end configured the same. The only thing you can do is wait for the extension and/or filters to update.

FWIW they might be doing this a lot more frequently since they know unlock origin lite can only update it's filters via a full extension update, and who knows how quickly Google is going to allow those updates.

I haven't had ads on youtube yet but it is very slow since that one recent update that broke shit for a lot of people and I get the "experiencing interruptions?" pop up for every single video.

You need to enable extra filters in uBlock Origin. The default ones won't block Youtube ads.

Still fully working for me here.

Don't EVER use Brave. Very, very shady browser. Use LibreWolf, which is a privacy-based Firefox fork, if you must.

You should probably check in on GameFAQs between every site you visit to see the status of your Current Events ticket about ad blockers

Yknow, to keep saving time.
