    For some reason I’ve been getting the “ad blockers violate the terms of service” nag lately on my firefox browser with ublock origin. My Brave browser doesn’t get it though. Any ideas?

      Youtube/Google is known to bully and lash out against Firefox users first, they use that as a hybrid strategy to make people use Google Chrome more (other market, same corposcum). Not surprised.

      uBlock isn’t “install and forget”; it needs some initial setup. Add some “filter lists” and overall look what is there in the settings.

      Still, you should think about that self-esteem thing. Why do you still use that site with “ad blockers violate the terms of service” nagging? Do you really need it?

        I installed it and did the setup and it worked great for many months. Then, in the last few days, something changed, though I made no changes to my browser or ublock. Today it works fine. Yesterday I was getting the nag. I didn’t make any changes from yesterday to today.

          Youtube did something recently and uBlock had to update in response. I think it was automatically rolled out sometime “last night.”
