I don't know if this is widespread, but I started getting video ads on YouTube while using Chrome, despite having uBlock Origin. Firefox + uBlock Origin still works great though!

Both YouTube and Chrome are bloatwares in my Samsung smartphone. I happily use NewPipe!

Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?

YouTube has ads and google’s new WEI api will force browsers to comply.

Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an api that will validate your browser and hardware to ensure you’re not tampering with webpages in any meaningful way.

extensions and unapproved browsers will be gutted.

I'd rather drink a verification can and do a little dance.
