@amelialily2584 Yeah, Google have figured out how to make it so the full ad plays on YouTube without a skip button and muted.

@buie9394 It really is a world war on ads going on. YouTube constantly fortifies the ads and all the browsers are evolving and adapting to match with their adblocks. Hopefully Opera will reign supreme at the end.

As of yesterday I am seeing ads on YouTube. I guess Google finally defeated us.

Every time I go on X (formerlyknownasTwitter), a Windows Security Alert triggers like I'm opening an app or a game of some sort. It says the usual thing that "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app". Then I can Allow Access or cancel. Nothing changes either way, webpage funcions well enough.
Why must it do that? Is it to sway us away from using X (formerlyknownasTwitter)? Can I remove my tinfoil hat? No, I will not. But yeah, fix it.
