A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ublock origin on firefox. Never forced an update, never did any fiddling with block lists. Never got a single warning or notification, still works perfectly. Huh.
I'm in the same boat whether on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android. But my sister, in the same household, also using uBO on FF, has been getting the message constantly
I get them every now and then, but refreshing the page fixes it every time. I’m not logged in to a Google account and my browser is set to clear cookies for all but a few domains on restart, so maybe that’s contributing? Don’t restart often though.
My sister found that it outright blocks her. She is signed in.
^But she also found that the player loads a split second before the message so if you full screen the player before the message you're good and can keep on watching away with no ads..^
