When ad blocking is a cat-and-mouse game, make the mouse slower.

OP has literally said that YT didn’t block them/didnt show any ads while using Vivaldi… As far I’m concerned, I couldn’t care less. I don’t use YT at all.

Yeah, OP literally said that they weren’t blocked when using Vivaldi with uBlock Origin, you were the first one to mention the builtin adblock (which is detected by YouTube).

Again: to use YT, you have to disable the builtin adblock and use only uBO. That’s in line with OPs statement.

Oh I hadn’t thought of how I’d installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install – no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I’ve never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

Vivaldi user here. So far, I’ve had zero problems accessing YouTube.
