My WIN 10 laptop did a windows update this morning and chrome updated itself too but the ublock origin is still working as of now.

That's good to know, I might try and reinstall chrome and see if it will allow me to install ublock origin because it has worked a treat for years. Meantime I've switched to Brave browser.

As I mentioned, UBO is no longer available on Chrome Web Store - a reinstall won't fix that. UBO Lite is still there and compatible with Manifest v.3; it works fine for blocking most ads.

Yep as I mentioned UBO is marked as verboten I'm just curious as to how it's still working for Mr B cos mine stopped working which is how I noticed it was no longer allowed.

Ours has stopped working too, I’ve downloaded the lite version and see how that goes.

I tried various options suggested above, but to no avail. A problem that persisted was videos not playing as the extension battled YT ads for supremacy.

Currently, Adblock for Youtube and Adblock Plus / Chrome is working. I DO briefly get a message saying "ad blockers aren't allowed on Youtube" but it disappears rapidly as one of my blockers wrestles it to the ground.

So, at the moment, so far so good.

I only have ABP installed currently since UBO got killed off. YouTube actively turns off ABP when I go to play a video, and I have to pause the video, re-enable ABP and refresh the video to kill the adverts. Huge faff compared to before which was seamless blocking.

See page 1 - just install Brave browser.

Forget extensions, it just works straight out the box. It's easy to transfer bookmarks if that's a concern.

I made the switch to Brave on my iPhone last weekend after seeing this thread. What a revelation. Wished I had switched a lot earlier.

It makes browsing the internet feel like it did years ago. Also like the fact it removes another of my bugbears - cookie consent pop ups

Thoroughly recommended

Just tested it and still working. As soon as it/if it stops I will shift to something else, either the lite version or Brave.
