Is there something significant about this release? I read the changelog but nothing really stands out to me.
Wondering the same. Will it bypass YouTube latest efforts

#112I've been using uBlock since shortly after it launched, and I'd rather lose access to all Google services than not have an ad blocker. I seriously question how people use a browser without one. Completely changes how the web feels.
This. I've pretty much stopped using YouTube since the adblocker blocker shut me out. I figure it's a good time to kick a bad habit. :D
ublock works perfectly for me on Youtube. I never see ads there. Plenty of sponsored videos but no ads. I use Firefox; that might be the difference.

he has explicitly denied the option for donations, which is excellent moral standing from my POV. However, it does beg the question - how can the community reward people who want to do this sort of work?
Perhaps a gigantic status of him standing over a harbor? Or a national holiday? We should also not forget to give accolades to the heroic people who tirelessly maintain the filter lists.
Accolades and money - Mr. Gorhill asks us to consider donating to the filter list maintainers instead if we want to give money to uBO.
Re: uBlock Origin 1.53
#114From the “uBO works best in Firefox” page, I found this gem: > Firefox will wait for uBO to be ready before sending network requests from already opened tab(s) at browser launch. > In Chromium-based browsers, this is not the case. Tracker/advertisement payloads may find their way into already opened tabs before uBO is ready, while Firefox will properly filter these. That’s a hell of a “bug” in Chromium, that blocker…
I have experienced this on firefox as well but it is rare and don't know of a way to reproduce it.

If you want your Chrome to be as fast as possible, you would get rid of all extensions you have. It doesn't matter even if it's an adblock atp. Hence calling it a feature, not a bug is rather misleading. Since you went and installed plugins understanding that it might and it will affect your workflow.
Usually, ad blockers will dramatically improve a websites performance

I have been using invidious for a while and apart from having to switch instances every few months, it's been a pleasure
Re: uBlock Origin 1.53
#117Unsure of provenance for this link, but it shows your browser's current success / failure state for blocking youtube anti-adware efforts. https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/
It's not actually showing success in blocking - it's showing whether uBO's filters are up-to-date with the latest youtube scripts. It is possible that youtube has updated, and none of the new ids are put into the pastebin yet, and thus, adblock fails.
Ah, yeah, that's more accurate. I've equated the two so far, but I expect the rate of change by both sides is still ramping up.
