I noticed today adds were inexplicably running on Youtube out of nowhere. I've been use Addblocker for quite awhile and never seem to have had an issue. Not only that, when the adds reached the skip now feature, it was greyed and would not let me skip. I looked on the Chrome extension setting and it said Addblock was corrupted. I tried repairing it which then sent me to Addblock's website forcing a screen wanting a donation.(It was there site I'm certain). Closed that and went back to adblock settings and it appeared to be turned on again. I went back to Youtube and adds seem to be off again. Is Google forcing adblock to stop working or perhaps some adblock update was needed? Just seems weird out of the blue it stops working. Youtube's also getting weird with its forced video suggestions.

I have had that crop up a few times. I think I just reinstalled the adblocker to fix it. I now use uBlock Origin,I find it to be one of the best.

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
I noticed recently some adds on YT, especially using page back feature or similar navigation hops. I guess YT found some new ways to stage those adverts.

Thanks for the info folks. Might take a look at that uBlock Origin too.
