Oh, they don't block bideos, just videos.
I also use firefox + ublock origin with zero issues on desktop (and on mobile too).
Haha, fixed. It's interesting to see I'm not the only one.
So far the pattern I have seen is users who do a lot of extra filtering with UO are the ones that run into the issues, but us lazy peeps who stick with defaults are sailing clear.
The only custom thing I have done in UO is filter out posts in kbin/lemmy that have certain annoying politicians in the titles. I see them enough on regular news sites articles about their trials or their shitty laws being shit down in the courts.
Interesting. I definitely wouldn't consider myself a normie (I use Arch and a Custom ROM, btw) but I've never tinkered with Ublock's extra features, so it seems that you're right.
I have enabled multiple lists that aren't default, have years worth of custom filters, run in medium mode and I have never seen a single warning on YouTube. Maybe none of the stuff I've configured is YouTube related.
I'm in this boat as well. I'd just kind of assumed I wasn't getting ads because I never log in to YouTube, but it's sounding like that's not the case.
