Yep that should usually be the first thing that opens.
I have never had any issues with youtube ads since the changes with this. They will probably adapt to it eventually but so far no problems, european region though so who knows if they have different approaches to different regions. Judging by your instance choice I assume you're in the UK like myself though.
Ah. I went through the ublock settings from the addons page, maybe thats why I threw ke the first page.
Let's just hope it carries on, but I'm not a programmer, so I couldn't tell if there could be a workaround.
And yes, I am from England.
There's loads of things they can do but ultimately it'll just provoke a new method of countering it. This is why they want to push software level changes to browsers that would allow them to prevent adblocking entirely.
Yeah, I don't see how they think they could ever win this.
Much like a lot of others on here, I am fully prepared to lose access to sites if they force me into their bullshit.
