Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

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.
