YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

I run both those and I see ads every time google breaks ublock which is monthly now. Grayjay is broken more than its not at this point and requires like 10+ tries with various ciphers.

I think the day of these ads becoming unblockable is coming soon.

Are you running Ublock on Chrome or Firefox? It works significantly better on Firefox. I've never seen an ad get through it.

Also Brave just straight up blocks ads by default across the browser. And it's a damn good one too
