    I barely use YT on the desktop (mostly used with Smart Tube then YT Revanced) to even face these issues…

    Glad to know the Ublock team is still fighting this as soon as possible.

    I’ve never got one of those anti-adblocker messages on YouTube and I just use a vanilla browser with no addons and I get zero ads. The Channel 4 website won’t let me watch anything without disabling the adblocker, so it’s not like my browser is in some super stealth mode where servers can’t tell I’m blocking ads. I’m not complaining though.

    Google sells youtube to twitch, suddenly a multi-trillion dollar company …

    Yeah, adblockers are a solved issue and only still work because google knows anyone using them will leave before watching dozens of ads per video, and those numbers are high enough to be a real threat.
