 Me. Very.

They only recently started blocking ad blockers.

On mobile web I just refresh the page when there’s an ad. This works well.

On desktop web I also just refresh the page when there’s an ad. This works less well.

 New pipe just works fine, never seen an ad for ages, screen of playback also still works.

 Why don't you use NewPipe or whatever alternative clients? There is a desktop native installable one.

 Just ignorance I guess. Thanks for the tip! I will check it out.

 if you’re willing to learn a new paradigm, something called ytfzf works very well.

 They tried blocking Firefox + uBlock and failed. I haven't seen an ad for months, and hadn't seen one for years using Brave browser, before this last failed attempt by YT.

 That's awesome to hear! Have you noticed any other benefits from using Brave browser compared to other browsers? #privacy #adblocker
