It's funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don't believe they are better off now more than before.

If Twitch taught us anything, this is just the beginning.

What happened on twitch?

Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They're next to impossible to block now, though I've heard some people say it's still possible.

Try ttv-lol-pro, it works for me.

I will have to try that. My way of blocking twitch ads is using my vpn. But it disconnects me from chat for a few seconds, when an ad should appear.
