Mine isn't working flawlessly with this exact set up, but it's just forcing me to refresh the page every time I load a new video. Still no ads.

    Are you using other add-ons?

    Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I'm pretty sure it's uBlock.

    But I'm on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting "distro specific" bugs in recent months, so I'm chalking it up to "my OS + Firefox" and not "uBlock"

    I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
    Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.
