Ad blockers 'have no place' on YouTube

Among the changes, what frustrates users the most about YouTube is the increasing number of ads, forcing them to find ways to block them. After witnessing numerous user-backed tricks, YouTube seems to be implementing new policies to minimize the effectiveness of ad blockers.

Users are frustrated that YouTube is cracking down on ad blockers again.

According to Neowin , YouTube continues to display warnings about the use of ad blockers, emphasizing that this violates the site's terms of service. The message states: "It appears you are using an ad blocker. Video playback will be blocked unless YouTube allows it or your ad blocker is disabled."

This anti-ad-blocking banner has also reappeared on the Opera GX browser even when uBlock Origin is still running. A similar issue is occurring on some versions of Firefox, while some users report being unable to dismiss the warning even after disabling the ad-blocking extension. Chrome users are also experiencing similar issues with slow YouTube performance when uBlock Origin is active.

An attempt to force YouTube users to watch ads.

Google maintains that advertising is necessary to keep YouTube as a free platform for billions of users worldwide. The company also emphasizes that the only legitimate way to disable ads is to subscribe to YouTube Premium as a way to financially support content creators.

Google has reportedly been working to curb the popularity of ad blockers on YouTube for a long time. The platform frequently "punishes" users who use ad blockers or browsers other than Chrome. Furthermore, Google is in the process of migrating Chrome's extension technology to Manifest V3 – a new technology incompatible with uBlock Origin and other powerful ad blockers.
