ublock and youtube are at war. My advice? I don't use ublock. I use a combination of adblocker and ghostery. Between the two of them Youtube hasn't won yet

it's a smaller one and it catches what adblocker doesn't

it should work! i use a bunch of different apps that tackle privacy from different angles. ghostery is a good one, and so is privacy badger. ublock origin has yet to let me down.

and i would recommend "enhancer for youtube" because it has a lot of settings you can customize for the site as a whole. no comment section? hide the shorts? put a loop button by the play button? yes and more

Ublock is such a commonly used one and they've been in an arms race with YouTube for a while now. Though as a note I've seen on tumblr before, if you have copy-pasted custom YouTube blocking/filtering code into it, it may help to delete that and update ublock. It's more reliable to let it do it's pushed updates.

But given youtube seems to try and fight it specifically, it loses sometimes. Especially in chromium browsers if you're using them.
