    Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?

      YouTube has ads and google’s new WEI api will force browsers to comply.

      Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an api that will validate your browser and hardware to ensure you’re not tampering with webpages in any meaningful way.

      extensions and unapproved browsers will be gutted.

      Youtube is AB testing a new pop up that appears whenever it detects that you are blocking ads and will stop playback after 3 videos or so.
