Not noticing this change from the EU... Guess they're too afraid of pulling that shit here?

Google LOVES A/B testing so it might be just that. I haven't noticed anything either.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

True, could just be lucky. I still haven't noticed any ad blocking changes either, but then again I'm using Firefox with μBlock Origin...

They've been caught before, but there's no regulation for this in some regions

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big shame that this wouldn't be illegal. But hopefully soon. Very anticompetitive behavior.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is, just not everywhere. Like the USA

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the "everywhere" was implied, thank you 😊

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

No really, this is illegal in places like Europe

I'm in the EU, using Vivaldi, and have the delay since yesterday. It's not on every video though. Seems like UBlock and YouTube are fighting each other every time I open a new link.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's interesting. Could be uBlock doing its thing then, for which I'm quite thankful
