I have LIbreWolf with uBlock Origin and NoScript (and Redirector I can turn on to redirect me from watching videos on YouTube.com to YewTu.be on a moments notice of something funky going on with YouTube), and so far, I have not noticed any ads or anything for a long time. I'm probably at the point of beginning to wonder what a YouTube Ad is.

Youtube is still fast for me though.

This is not new. They started doing this when the adblock detection was ramping up too
