Combine this with Chrome enforcing manifest v3 starting at June 2024, YouTube ads will be virtually unblockable on Chrome, even with an ads blocking extension installed because Google will be controlling the ad blocking mechanism used by the ad blocker. They can arbitrarily reduce the max number of the blocking rulesets, how often the extension can update the rulesets, or even elect to skip running any rulesets that target YouTube or Google domains.
Yes, I can't wait! Firefox usage will skyrocket :D
i hope so, but sadly many users are just stubborn and lazy.
That's sort of better for the people who migrate then, no?
If the average user just decides to deal with ads that means it won't be worth the effort to go after the minority of people who will be AdBlocking
good point

The size is already just 50. Those who think that adblocking is possible with this are fooling themselves.
or even elect to skip running any rulesets that target YouTube or Google domains.
If anybody acts surprised when it happens, they're probably too stupid to be allowed on the web.
