I did hear the news about youtube getting rid of adblocks. The first video that I click has an ad and then I refresh again the ads still appear. I turn off and on ublock origin just to make sure it’s working and it blocks the youtube ads. It happened to my dissable youtube shorts plugins as well. Btw I am using firefox.
This is why I gave up on Firefox because the add blockers always needed to be restarted and stuff. Brave because AdBlock is built in.
That is not my experience with Firefox, but if Brave is working for you, that is perfectly good!
