Has anyone notice that sometimes plugins like ublock origin is not working on youtube? (lemmy.world)

I did hear the news about youtube getting rid of adblocks. The first video that I click has an ad and then I refresh again the ads still appear. I turn off and on ublock origin just to make sure it's working and it blocks the youtube ads. It happened to my dissable youtube shorts plugins as well. Btw I am using firefox.

That is strange, I haven't had that issue myself. As of today though due to the news I have switched over to piped, a youtube proxy, by importing my subscriptions so that'll hopefully never be an issue. It was surprisingly easy, and works quite well
