YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

Are you running Ublock on Chrome or Firefox? It works significantly better on Firefox. I've never seen an ad get through it.

Firefox. Google does AB testing so they roll out the anti adblocking changes ot some users. Its usually effective at blocking adblocker for a day or two. Sometimes i have to watch the Ad sometimes i have to sit and stare at a black screen for 15seconds.

or more accurately: google has made it impossible to make a useful tracker and ad blocker for chrome

Also Brave just straight up blocks ads by default across the browser. And it's a damn good one too
