@mantapp this guy is the exception. This isnt a "hairbrain fix" this is manually updating ublock with ublock's own update. so yea. if your still seeing ads, try and manually update, or check if the next update is available for you to do that and check to see if your version is up to date.

They updated it, just for those in the back who dont know, you never wake up one day and have to troubleshoot this stuff. Ublock Origin works until Youtube makes it dont. Then we let Ublock Origin know here in these comments. Then they update it. all you hairbrains with your dumb "fixes" and re the guy who said stop suggesting brave, im not switching to brave, genuinely would be baffled by many if any opera users switching to brave, thanks for the update UBlock. alls smooth sailing now again as of 5/29/26

does need an update as of 5/23/26
youtube doesnt let videos play.the guy talm bout sumn, uninstall this reinstall this. No youtube rolled this out, ublock needs an update.
