  I use Firefox. Is Ublock Origin still effective on YouTube since Google shoved out Manifest V3 onto Chromium-based browsers?

    Firefox is not chromium based. You can install unlock origin and have no ads.

      Yes, I already do.

      I asked because I don’t know if anyone who does use a Chromium browser has noticed an uptick in ads.

    Don’t use a chromium based browser.

      I did say I use Firefox. I was asking those who don’t.

        Those who don’t use Firefox should.

        Reading is hard. My advice still stands for everyone else though.

    It works for me, yes. At least on Windows 11. Forgive my technical ineptitude.
