Huh? So do they have a contract with YouTube or are they actively fighting the ads? If the latter, will YouTube not continue to fight them with the same nasty things it does to existing ad blocking techniques like slower videos, jittering, random video crashes, or just pop up messages that won’t go away?

    It is unilateral. They have no contract with Google. Google is expected to fight back. I use various hardened Firefox forks on all my devices and mostly Nextpipe for YT, so I don't much care, but that's the background.

    I’ve been using Brave as my YouTube only browser, other than the occasional 2-3 second delay in starting a video with the “experiencing interruptions?” message, it’s been pretty flawless for the last few years.
