They started blocking people who use ad blockers from watching videos if they don’t disable it on YouTube. I think they just started doing it in the last few weeks
I have had no issues. Even if they did end up successfully blocking (not likely) the videos are accessible via 3rd party sites/clients. I don’t see Google ever being able to successfully block users without adding a login requirement, and even then…
I don’t think Google ever blocked someone for abusing their services (unless it was GCP, which is not meant for personal use anyway), they believe in annoying a person to compliance instead of banning them.
Firefox+UBO and Revanced users: Oh no… anyway…
They’re blocking users who use UBO
That’s what they want you to think.
I’ll have you know I remain unblocked.
I am not blocked. I use UBO.
No they aren’t lol
Didn’t they already try to do that with manifest v3? They couldn’t do shit within their own chromium platform, I doubt they’d be able to do it now.
And even if they could, UBO devs would just find a way around that.
Block their Google account or block from viewing videos on YouTube?

If they are dumb enough to pull API access like reddit and twitter, they’d be opening themselves up to real competition for the first time ever

Blocking from viewing videos on YouTube
Not all of them, currently. And if they were to do that, I’m sure some handy people will find a way around that.
