"YouTube is not hiding the skip button. On skippable ads, the button appears after 5 seconds into playback, as always. To allow users to focus on the video creative and make the player more seamless with YouTube content, we are reducing elements on the ads player. In doing so, viewers can engage more deeply with the ad through a cleaner experience."

When I engage deeply with an ad, it's when I find I can't skip it, my anger begins to boil and I want to throw things.

Once they get that I'll likely switch, but its insane how long they've went without it.

Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store

According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn't comply with Chrome's "best practices" for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

For those who already have uBlock Origin installed, Chrome now displays a warning that the extension is becoming obsolete. Google introduced Manifest V3 in 2018, claiming it would replace Manifest V2 in the Chromium project due to its supposedly enhanced security features.

When I tried to watch YouTube on Firefox with uBlock Origin this morning I was just getting a white screen. Switched into private mode and it got it going for some reason. I wondered if there was some Google hijinx going on.

Man what a bunch of shit. The only small amount of solace I have is that there must have been a boardroom of people absolutely seething at uBlock for years and crying/pissing their pants about lost ad revenue, to cause them to go this hard on them.

I'd like to hope that Chrome specifically would see a huge loss of downloads/users, but the realist in me knows that the average person is too uninterested/savvy enough to know what's going on.

Hope the antitrust case keeps gaining steam.

The more Google got agressive with their ads, the more people started to use adblockers.
If it was just an ad here or there, most people would not mind. But when there are so many ads, some of them unskippable, a lot of people were pushed to use ad blockers.
And of course, Google can't understand it's their fault for more and more people to use adblockers, so they now push even harder against it.

Brave so far works like a charm with YouTube and everything else (even on mobile).
