Yeah, I used ABP for a while and got occasional ads, didn’t discover uBO til later.
Comment on YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto

there is mv3 version of ubo here:
github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home
dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i ‘need to’ look at a yt vid.
adguard’s free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable ‘acceptable ads’ and ignore offer to ‘upgrade’ to a paid version) is, too.

“Not as well as uBlock Origin” is the answer to that.
I got warnings to disable my ad blocker on my Chromebook recently, but did not get the same on my Linux desktop using Firefox.
I really ought to get away from the default software on the Chromebook (Firefox via Crouton or Android or something), but it didn’t work well last time I tried.

Is there support for blocking individual elements of a page in v3 version of uBlock Origin? (I won’t be surprised if it lacked it). I usually block various other elements of page like useless headers/footers/comment sections on some sites I routinely visit on Firefox.
