Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

I wasn’t able to get it consistently working so I started using FreeTube instead of a browser, which seems to work without hassle

I tried it, I agree it works fine. I only stopped using it because it doesn’t let me go back in live streams.

I mostly only use youtube for music, so my only complaint is that it’s some extra clicks to get a url in my clipboard I can use with my yt-dl script
