I have uBlock Origin on FF, just this morning it stopped working on YouTube. YouTube now tells me I am allowed for 3 videos because I'm adblocking them.

Nearly every time I see this, it's because people have other addons colliding which cause issues.

You only need uBlock origin; get rid of Ghostery, Privacy Badger, adblock for youtube or any of that other stuff. Other extensions can cause uBlock to not work correctly.

> Do NOT use uBO with any other content blocker. uBO performs as well as or better than most popular blockers. Other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.

I had something like this for a while as well. I think they just target subsets of adblock users since I have multiple friends with the same configuration who didn't get it. My solution was FreeTube with LibRedirect.

For the record, I don't have any other adblocker and have not for years since I actually had a clash with Privacy Badger in the past.

No, this is new.

i thought lite was removed again because it just doesnt work

It's time to switch away from Chrome, anyways.

You can't give the ad-peddlers control over your digital existence.

Firefox has gotten quite good over the years. Personally, I like Zen, which has the UX of Arc, but an open source FF base.
