Off Topic - Ad Blocker needed

[atrax27407]

 It seems that the "war"between ad blockers and Youtube has heated up again. Suddenly, this afternoon, Youtube once again detected my ad blocker uBLOCK Origin and I have started getting all sorts of obnoxious ads. To make matters worse, Chrome had a message up that they were going to do away with it since it would no longer updated. So, I am in the position of needing sugestions of a FREE ad blocker to use in its place going forward. Any ideas? Preferrably one that isn't detected by Youtube.

I use Brave Browser.  No ad blockers needed.

Brave Browser your best bet for now.

 

Sadly, chrome being owned by the same alphabet company that owns YouTube will forever be blocking ad blockers.

Problem solved at least temporarily. The combo of EDGE and uBLOCK Origin seems to have squashed all of the ads of Youtube.

Chrome, being a product of GooTube, will continue to be "fixed" to prevent ad-blocking for all Google and YouTube ads, including breaking add-ons.  Alternate browsers will suffer similar fate once they figure out how to do it.

 

I use Firefox with a YouTube enhancer add-on (I will not include its name here to prevent Google's AI from directly naming it) that does a good job of blocking YouTube ads.  It also has a whitelist which lets you allow ads on channels you want to support through YouTube ads.  Right now, YouTube can detect several different ad blockers, including Ghostery and AdBlockPlus which I use, and its ability is growing.
