uBlock sold out back in 2019: --- Code: ---https://web.archive.org/web/20191130155329/https://ublock.org/blog/ublock-incorporates-acceptable-ads/ --- End code --- (this forum breaks Wayback Machine links). Many users dropped it right then. uBlock Origin is a fork, pre-sellout, maintained by a small team led by the original developer, who punch far above their weight in the continuous war against adblocker detection and contravention scripts. |

I'm new to it and I posted a link a few days ago to a website that displays a test to validate it. Just click that link and it will tell you right away if you're current. I had to do a few other things in Edge/Win10 to get it to work but really easy never-the-less. Basically disable tracking prevention (in Edge) for Youtube.com by right clicking the lock next to the URL, Disabling other adblockers I had before and purging the filters in UBO and refreshing them. The latter may be needed from time-to-time but I've only ben using UBO less than a week. |

I doubt anyone here is actually using ublock, we are using ublock origin and just call it "ublock". I guess that does cause confusion. Anyway, please read Karels link above before commenting on why something will or won't work... |

Yes; cleared cache etc, updated it, and it is running again. |
