Darn, ublock also no longer works on Firefox for YouTube. At the beginning of each video there is one forced ad and sometimes the video stops for no reason.

I suppose they want everyone to stop using the Internet and read books.

I run uBO on FF, and I've yet to see any forced ads or video stops.

I'm on FF 131.0.2 with uBO 1.60.0.

Works for me. I have Youtube on constantly when at my desk as background noise and uBo is still blocking everything perfectly fine.

Edit: Seems Google/Youtube are experimenting/testing with injecting ads directly into the video streams:

You probably need to update your filter lists. There is a megathread on Reddit for this issue, because it can have a lot of other causes also.

The Brave Browser still blocks YouTube ads.

Disable all other extensions and update your lists. It will work then.
