My ad blocker won't let me watch YouTube...OR YouTube won't let me watch with an ad blocker. I don't care. No ads for ME.

My company forced us to use only Chrome on our PC's and one of the things I was worried about was the ads. I put youtube in the background while I work.

And I was surprised by how...... My experience was exactly the same as Firefox and Brave. Ok, actually, one or two ads managed to slip through and appeared in the front page - albeit rarely and randomly - but I never got those ads at the beginning of the video. On other websites, I never got ads.

I was wondering, then, if there was some catch. Maybe the trackers would still get through or something. But according to that link, not even that? lol

My brave browser still blocks everything. Very pleased.
