Youtube's new Adblocker policy

[stephen the barbarian]

i've been getting around it by white listing one vid then turning on adblock once that one starts playing.

It still strikes me as absurd - does anyone actually buy anything off youtube ads?

I don't - they just annoy me <grin>.

Yes, this is one of the tricks I'm using.

Force-update uBlock's filters. Google is constantly changing the script they use to detect blockers, so uBlock has to continually update their counter. You basically have to do it daily or more.

I suspect Google will keep this up for a month or two before throwing in the towel, Especially considering that they are effectively going up against a bunch of autists with nothing better to do.
