Google's anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

I have never had to touch anything on uBlock origin. Well, before this youtube stuff when I sometimes have to manually update a block list when YT gets a new adblocker blocker

I never had to touch anything in uBlock Origin, not even once, I just have to remember to check for updates every now and then. I see some people saying sometimes they still get ads on youtube, not sure if it's youtube testing new targeting, but I've never seen ads on YT anyway, I guess I'm not interesting enough to them XD

I already use uBlock Origin. I haven't had any issues with it. I was replying to the person who said NoScript was better.
