    That’s what they want you to think.

    Didn’t they already try to do that with manifest v3? They couldn’t do shit within their own chromium platform, I doubt they’d be able to do it now.

    And even if they could, UBO devs would just find a way around that.

    Block their Google account or block from viewing videos on YouTube?

      They started blocking people who use ad blockers from watching videos if they don’t disable it on YouTube. I think they just started doing it in the last few weeks

        I think what people who are commenting here aren’t getting is that they’re only doing it to a percent of accounts and not ALL accounts.

      I don’t think Google ever blocked someone for abusing their services (unless it was GCP, which is not meant for personal use anyway), they believe in annoying a person to compliance instead of banning them.
