just checked, my ublock says it's blocked 16 million ads on youtube since i installed it
love my ublock origin, but occasionally youtube gets ahead in the arms race
never had this happen to me once. is it because I use firefox instead of kkkhrome?
im a firefox ublock partisan, the bastards are knocking upon the walls and occasionally getting through. defenses rally quite promptly so the whole affair could be missed
I use chrome on a Chromebook and my ublocker has never failed me. I watch 1-2 YouTube videos a day usually.
It sounds like a lot until you remember that each video includes half a million ads.
clicked the little ublock icon in my addon toolbar
i might have misread it though, 16 million is probably be the number it's blocked on all sites combined since it says that no matter what site i'm on
