I haven’t seen this and i use ublock origin. Is there any context or other source ?
They are slowly rolling it out; the reports have been trickling in for the past few weeks. Last I heard was firefox users getting hit. Apparently not even uBlock is immune.
You just have to keep updating it unfortunately. It’s messing up my custom filter blocks which is annoying

I got it in ublock but used the block element feature to block it. Now I can’t scroll down to comments or see the recommended vids but videos play fine.
Considering that suggested videos are all just repeats of videos you already watched and the comments are always ass I see this as an absolute win
I use ublock and FF across 4 devices and got a warning on one computer over the weekend.
if they get aggressive with it, it’ll just reduce my YT usage. like if I really want to watch something, I’ll open up a crap little chromium browser that does nothing but watch youtube videos. assuming ublock and FF don’t find a way around this.
slowly rolling out andf ublock doesnt stop it (maybe soon) which sucks ass.
