Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.::YouTube's dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there's an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

Serious question: what is the best add blocker right now? I've been using ublock origin, but it doesn't seem to be working that well these days.

ublock origin by far. Just refresh the filter list every now and then.

To be absolutely sure no one gets this wrong - uBlock Origin is what you want. Not just uBlock.

To be even absolutelier sure no one gets this wrong - use uBlock Origin on Firefox (or one of it's forked versions) because every other Browser runs chromium under it's hood which heavily restricts ad blocking abilities
