A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This will lead to an increase of ad-blocker-blocker-blocker development.

The adblocking arms race escalates further!

yo dawg I heard you like blockers

They already exist and are quite effective, I wonder whether YouTube is able to detect those too

So you're saying we need an ad-blocker-blocker-blocker-blocker-blocker.

Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?

There is Nanodefender for Firefox. Just be aware that there are different versions of this for Firefox and chome but those will actually track you. The original developer sold their code to people with bad intentions, this is a fork.

It'll happen. I just hope that it will just become semi-diffucult to do it, so that non-technical people give in so Google is happy, then the 0.1% of us can enjoy our adblocked youtube.

Came here to say this as well. It's a game of cat and mouse.

It's just natural evolution.
