Ian.M:
uBlock sold out back in 2019:

--- 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.

It was uBlock Origin which I have.

I have Ublock Origin and it is working for me. 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...
peter-h:
Yes; cleared cache etc, updated it, and it is running again.
