UBlock Origin has kept the ads at bay for me and is still working fine here.

However, this whole episode has given me pause for thought and I 've decided to try and eradicate Google from my life as far as possible.

Indeed, I always knew they were evil but they're creeping evil and had wormed their way in with convenience and my laziness.

I started getting those pop-up's about adblocker early this Fall, and I kept watching for a bit. Then I went 3-4 weeks and hardly used youtube.

I don't really watch much stuff anyways, for entertainment, I just have it on in the background. But for technical stuff, youtube can be great, with all the repair video's and lectures/etc.

So for 3-4 weeks, I watched some pointless fiction stuff like old Star Trek TNG/DS9/Voyager, and a few movies I have downloaded. I can't keep that up, I've seen it all too many times.

But now I'm back to utube, and I haven't had popups or warnings.

Well this morning I'm being told Ad-Blockers violate T&Cs, so starting today, I'm going without Youtube.
