Ad-blocking never stopped working for me. I use a combo of uBlock Origin, uMatrix, and Unhook.

As far as I can tell, they are leaving Silicon Valley IPs to the end of the rollout.

I don’t think they’ve rolled it out to everyone yet.

uMatrix breaks so much across the entire internet that I feel like it has an effect here. But I haven't done any tests to confirm that.

AdBlocker Ultimate still works. I just blocked the nagging popup element.

I'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.

Note that this release is not, as of this comment, finished being published and approved in any of the four browser app stores, so you may not see the new version when using check for updates (if you installed the normal way) until they’ve finished the release process.

https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17kw0vc/ubloc... has the usual “it hasn’t completed review yet” guidances as well how to rush ahead of the app stores for those that are impatient.
