    Does any ad blocker actually block YouTube ads? Origin doesn’t appear to be effective for me. Any advice is appreciated.

        it’s still practical to block them, twitch has adblockers and uses the same mechanics, if there’s a client rendered element(such as a pop up box that can be clicked) it’s detectable and therefor skippable or at the very least hidable.

      Origin blocks ads for me on FF. Depending on the video you’re watching, know that YouTube is now hard coding ads into its video which nothing so far can block (as far as i know)

      I know youtube has been selective about rollouts, but I use uBlock, sponsor block, and ABP in chrome and have had zero issues.

      Unfortunately security at work just shut down all use of Firefox, and I was using YouTube enhancer. Forced to using Edge now.

      Non work FF4lyfe and no issue, but I’ve always had to use more than just ublock origin.
