Comment on YouTube is expanding its ad-blocking powers — closes loopholes that allowed some users to bypass restrictions

Eh, it only lasted for a few hours, then I updated the ublock origin filters and things were back to normal. In the meanwhile I just streamed youtube videos via a media player that had builtin yt-dlp (smplayer) support.
It’ll always be a game of cat and mouse.

yt-dlp

it or a front-end to it is always #2 on the list of applications to install on my own new os installs–right behind firefox.

i don’t use yt much, but it’s sure nice to have. i can just drag over or copy/paste urls or video id right from a serp and never have to give google a even single page view.
