Exactly, this! uBlock Origins will block upwards of thousands of ads/trackers/whatever from YouTube. After it hits about 50k+, it'll start to act strangely. At that point I just refresh the video and it all goes away. I think this happens when YouTube changes something cached in the browser, which was originally not blocked by uBO, even when uBO might have been updated to block the new stuff. I have uBO on auto-update for this reason. Whenever I notice shit not working, F5 FTW!
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site's content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.
The only thing Reagan actually accomplished!
Yup, when America sneezes, the world gets a cold.
Right? I've used ad blockers as soon as they popped on the Internet scene. I hate advertisements, commercials and any kind of marketing. I don't watch TV, and when I do or it's on nearby, I get up and walk away during the commercials. When sponsored stuff interrupts a video I'm watching, I skip forward until the video returns. If I have to use a browser with no ad block, I straight up abandon most sites. It's untenable!
In general, I treat life and products/services I want like a business doing a Request For Purchase (RFP). If I want something, I'll look up companies that provide that product or service and rely heavily on the recommendations of friends, family, and community when making a purchase decision. Those who aggressively solicit me will almost never get my money or be considered.
Fuck capitalism.
Holy shit, I have multiple tabs open and have only been using Firefox as my default browser for about ~~1.5~~ 3-months (August 9th). Each YouTube tab has over 10k blocks and lifetime blocks since installation is over 4.1 million!
Edit: found the document I made in Obsidian to plan my move from Brave to Firefox and the created data is August 9th.
It hasn't been fun since we started paying taxes!

You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain.
Confirmed. Definitely not spez.
I appreciate you (and others who may not have bothered to comment) for not immediately jumping to the, "this guy's a fascist sympathizer," because I don't think the emotional responses to this will bring about rational change.
