Dont let them know… They probably never even tested on Firefox. :)
Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

You ever get the “You are disconnected from the internet” screen? It goes away with a refresh so it’s not a big deal, but it would be even cooler if it didn’t happen.

Only when there’s actual issues with YT servers.

Same here

A new issue for me is the video sometimes skips/very slow while the audio is fine. Restarting the browser and pc doesn’t change anything.

Yeah uBlock Origin has worked fine through every single one of these “adblockers are broken!” articles I’ve seen
I don’t mind, it’s still good to raise awareness about Youtube’s bullshit - especially since I’m getting ads for Border Patrol, OpenAI, and the fucking Melania movie now when I do see them (when I am lazy and using my Roku TV instead of HDMI). But it hasn’t been a problem for me yet.

Could just be because they address it rather fast.
It could also be due to chrome limiting what uBlock can do.
UBlock + Firefox seems like the ideal combo.

I actually just realized I apparently disabled UBO for some reason on Youtube - can’t imagine why - and it was actually just Brave Browser blocking everything on its own.
