100% this. The ublock team are doing a fantastic job but Google are tweaking their script 2 or 3 times a day, causing the ublock team to constantly play catch up. As a user, all this has done is made me move to a more customisable front end, freetube. It’s legitimately faster to browse and load videos than the main YouTube Web page, comes with sponsorblock built in, and allows easier profile switching, all with no ads or bullshit.
I’d have never searched for or known about it if YouTube hadn’t gone batshit crazy with the ad block blocker.
