It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I’m finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I’ve got no idea when that’ll become less reliable

    Rather than doing this, they should work on the reasons WHY people are using adblockers. Some totally unrelated to ads, like those huge end-cards that block the video that you’re still trying to watch. I use adblockers to remove those.

    You used to be able to turn their predecessors off, but the new ones? I haven’t found a way to turn them off without using ad-blockers. Even with Youtube Premium (which gets rid of the ads) I STILL have ot use U-block origin to get rid of those damned end-cards.

      I thought that there was a setting to remove these info cards. I’m pretty sure I saw it a few months back when I was looking for a way to disable them.

      For me it’s completely because of the tracking/privacy issues. If YouTube wants to serve ads that’s fine by me, I just block tracking and as a result I never see an ad.
