Youtube is still 100% usable with uBlock Origin... Even the "lite" version of uBO.

    Its always a cat and mouse game. They say they blocked adblockers... but then that gets circumvented. But then they patch it, but that gets circumvented. If they spent a fraction of what they spend trying to stop adblockers and just show less ads... people wouldnt need to resort to adblockers!

    Right, but through the entire debacle where Youtube supposedly stopped working with adblockers at all, I had absolutely zero interruptions. Firefox w/uBO (mobile and desktop), Chrome w/uBOL, and even YT Revanced.
