My wife and I have noticed that all our computers today have been showing quite a few ads on youtube. We have ublock on just about every device and Firefox on a majority of them. Anyone else having the same issue?

    I will download YouTube videos and manually snip the ads out myself if it comes to it.

      In theory, Sponsorblock could evolve to download a new video multiple times, check what frames match each copy, and use that data to skip to the next matching frame when users watch something.

      This would overcome video stream ad injection even if every ad was a different length and in a different location each time someone watched the video.
