no issue with firefox and ublock origin just yet over here
Yeah, it seems like it's intermittent. Like there's either an arms race going on between uBlock and Youtube system, or else maybe they're slowly experimenting with the noose to see at what point and with what effectiveness the consumer parts of the equation will start choking up money again.
YouTube has been blocking me for a couple of months now, with one or two short breaks. I have Firefox and uBlock Origin. Even after I whitelisted YouTube, the blocking continues.
