It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I’m finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I’ve got no idea when that’ll become less reliable

    Sponsorblock is the reason I’m confident that no matter what they try people can and will find ways to overcome it.

      Out of all things I enjoy sponsorblock the most. Such a great QOL improvement, amazed I lived without it for so long

      I suspect that all of the AI these companies think will solve all their problems (and add profits), will actually be a tool for us to use to skip and block ads.
      Someone will learn how to use AI against them.
