My Ad Blocker of choice is UBlock Origin, but it no longer works on Chrome when accessing YouTube.
In fact, Google says it will disable UBlock Origin on Chrome this year. This is the message when you click Manage Extension for UBlock Origin on Chrome:
This extension may soon no longer be supported
Remove or replace it with similar extensions from the Chrome Web Store
It continues to work fully on Firefox and Edge** so I guess I will start viewing YouTube on Firefox. those browsers.** YouTube is almost un-watchable with ads interrupting at various random times. I don’t mind the pre-roll ads, but it is the abrupt interruptions that annoy me.
I will stop using Chrome if it becomes necessary.
The podcast SECURITY NOW Ep 986 mentioned this subject, and it is not known yet if UBlock Origin will update its Chrome Extension to comply with the new Chrome policy.
This is the entry for UBlock Origin on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin
UBlock Origin is the pick of the Ad Blockers, and I intend to continue using for as long as I can, if necessary, by not using browsers that block it. So far, Chrome is only blocking it on YouTube, but they have stated that they will fully block it this year.
As I have previously stated, I leave the default browser/search engines in place. That means, with Windows PCs the default browser is Edge with Bing as the search engine. I also use 2 other browsers – Firefox / DuckDuckGo and Chrome / Google.
** UPDATE MICROSOFT EDGE
A similar situation exists with Edge and YouTube (which is not surprising now that Edge is based on Chromium)
