AdGuard on Mac for safari, unlock origin for anything other than chrome.
Yep. Got this yesterday (UK).
I had a couple of adverts make it through yesterday in the UK, just closed the tab and went to some locally hosted content instead. Seems like its working again today. I don't log into youtube at all.
I got one 2 days ago, refreshed and it went away (FireDragon with ublock)
It actually pushed me further, I now browse Youtube logged out and disabled every piece of tracking i could find

I don’t really care about phones or computers and will probably go back to a dumb phone once this one breaks.
The brave browser is a pretty good option on iOS, it has a good Adblock and it has support for background audio (assuming you enable it in the browsers settings)
It is one of the only browsers on iOS that I know of that has support for both, meaning you can use it to listen to YouTube music with no ads and with the screen off.
Idk the brave dude is weird af
Brendan Eich personally donated money to the campaign which successfully banned same-sex marriage in California. That alone makes him and anything that potentially earns him money off limits for me. Thankfully he's no longer at Mozilla
