  Unlock origin is the adblocker that people are installing. There are a lot of people with shitty adblockers out there, I guess they are switching.

    I bet all those people with shitty adblockers are also probably googling better ad/YT compatible blockers lmaoo

      I searched “YouTube adblocker” on both google and DDG. The first mention of ublock origin was in the 1st page of Google (just at the bottom, under “recommended adblockers for Firefox”, the 2nd option). There was no mention of it on DDG, even though I clicked “more results” once (so searched the equivalent of 2 pages). The problem with Google search is not google, it’s SEO, that affects all search engines.

        To be fair someone that uses DDG most likely already has ublock origin.

      I just tried it and there’s plenty of results to Reddit references to U block origin on Firefox.

      You’re clearly making an assumption here
