68% of people who responded to the poll at the link say that they are not affected. Only 10% of responders are.

Probably A/B testing.

I'm not lowering my security for Google.

Meh. My ad blocking strategy on my phone and desktop still works fine. I use Morphe (formerly Revanced), uBlock Origin on Firefox and AdGuard on my android phone.

No ads. No problem.

Is Noutube still working?

[–] mark100@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I just discovered it because of your question, downloaded and it works. :)

I can say that I solved this problem for me (at least in the short term, we shall see) by using a random User Agent switcher, uninstalling and reinstalling uBlock.

this just makes me want to cancel my subscription more

I really need to get around to doing that. It's the one service I pay for.

AdBlocker for YouTube works.

Couple days ago I had to install it on top of uBlock Origin on friend's pc, since the latter stopped working on YouTube. Be sure to disable uBlock on YouTube.

Does https://yout-ube.com/ still work?

[–] blaggle42@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago
