YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.::Google is increasing the prices of YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscriptions in some regions, right after blocking ad-blockers.

Or you update your uBlock Origin blocklists and declare YouTube the war.

Doesn't work. I have network wide DNS filtering, but that alone doesn't stop YT ads.

If you have a link to a GitHub host file for that, I'd definitely take a peak.

Otherwise, uBlock and *Pipe apps.

Try blocking the ads.
You will block the video serving domains as well :)

YT/Google aint that stupid and knows how to bundle both for your convenience.

I never see Vivaldi mentioned in these. Yes, it’s chromium based, but I have not seen a single YouTube ad since they implemented built-in ad block many years ago. Without the need for extensions, plug-ins, or user managed block lists.

Vivaldi is proprietary garbage

yeah, ive been using vivaldi and only very recently did i see my player diabled with ubo off but if i disable ubo and put vivaldi's blocking option to just block trackers, that does the trick tho the ad starts with a black screen but the skip button instantly appears under .5 seconds or the video starts
