Yes, my old blocking software stopped working. Perhaps it's time to find the new solution, or just officially ditch their service.
If you haven't been on jewtube in a while they rolled out mandatory ads in the middle of all videos, even videos that were specifically demonetized by it's creators.
Been using Waterfox for a number of years, with Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, and it's rare that I see any sort of ad.
Is there any specific reason why you use both?
One blocks ads, one blocks trackers. I also use an add on that changes the user string to I can spoof other browsers/operating systems, and one that randomizes the hardware that is reported. Anything in an effort to obfuscate data profiles being built about me. I have no way of knowing how effective it is, but I take some small comfort in knowing that I may be making someone's life a little more difficult.
Of note, I had been running into websites claiming that my browser wasn't supported, and trying to convince me to use something else, like chrome, edge, etc. I used the user string spoofing thing to change it to chrome, and suddenly the websites just worked like they had in the past, which was interesting to me, because one of the claims was that using an unsupported browser would degrade my experience.
