My wife and I have noticed that all our computers today have been showing quite a few ads on youtube. We have ublock on just about every device and Firefox on a majority of them. Anyone else having the same issue?

    Ublock will likely catch up, but you should also install sponsorblock. It uses user generated data, I.e someoen clicks “ad started and stopped here in the video” to skip not only YouTube ads, but ads done by youtuber directly, sponsorships/calls to action like buying merc, etc.

    Its super good, and will work on tons of video. You can even help by being the one to click the “ad started/stop” time if you see an ad.

          Dearrow replaces clickbait titles and thumbnails for videos with non-clickbait equivalents. Users volunteer for updating titles using the same add-on that reflects for everyone else worldwide.

          Video thumbnails are replaced by a random frame by default but you can submit a more appropriate frame as well.
