“Since May, uBO has been in a cat-and-mouse game with YouTube. And they’ve shown incredible resilience, especially when you consider that there are only two people on the uBO team dealing with YouTube.”
YouTube sends fake ad requests to catch blockers and flags Privacy Badger, Malwarebytes and Edge’s strict tracking protection along the way. Two volunteers counter a company with Google’s payroll. The users they help flood the threads with demands, and one moderator quit after being yelled at while their mother was in the hospital. Google does not need to beat uBlock Origin when entitled users can burn out its maintainers for free.
