Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

    I have a friend that just refuses to use anything but chrome, refuses to use any kind of adblock and will only use an iPhone.

    I don’t get it. I’ve asked him to explain but he just keeps saying “it’s personal preference” which is such a massive copout.

      Maybe I’m looking into this too far, but I think if someone’s happy to have things the way they like them (ads, Chrome, etc.) and clearly doesn’t want to elaborate on it, they have every right to not elaborate further.

      Let them find it their own way. Or maybe they won’t, but it’s their choice to make.
