voldothegr8 05/26/21 5:56:27 PM #6:	On desktop I still don't get any Youtube ads with Firefox+uBlock Origin. I can't speak on the mobile app because I never use it. Twitch kind of figured out a way around uBlock Origin. I don't see ads but do get the purple screen for 30 seconds when ads should be playing. However by opening the same stream on another tab a few minutes in they can be switched back and forth for constant viewing. --- Oda break tracker 2021- 3 (3) \| THE Ohio State: 7-1 \| Las Vegas Raiders: 8-8 <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:954330831] in are ads be...

Questionmarktarius 05/26/21 5:58:53 PM #8:	If you tell Firefox not to autoplay videos, sometimes youtube will give a single frame of the ad, that goes away on its own in a few seconds. ...and then some days it doesn't happen at all.
