Not working as well on YouTube. The ad is blocked, but you still need to skip it. You didn't need to do this with UBO.

It's working fine on Youtube in Optimal mode. If you still have issues, you will have to go through self-diagnosing steps[1] to rule out all the myriad other ways you could suffer such issues -- most commonly another extension is interfering negatively.

Click on the extension icon and move the slider to the right.

uBO being so good at blocking YouTube ads to the point where you didn't need to signup for Premium may have been the tipping point for Google that ended manifest V2.

i suspect that youtube mobile is responsible for more traffic than web. And that it's harder (but not impossible) to have adblocking on mobile (such as revanced).

Is all this “privacy” and “monopoly” outrage about a loud group of people wanting to watch YouTube videos without watching ads or paying a dime?

Do they also get outraged when Costco “abuses its monopoly” as soon as they stop providing free samples or cheap hotdogs?

it's a good base level, but misses dynamic updates, custom rules and interactive element picker/blocker.
