I thought ublock stopped working on youtube, did anything changed?

Never stopped working for me. Haven't seen a YouTube ad in many years.
Ublock has been blocking all youtube ads for me for many years (on Firefox).
Youtube seems to pause the video after less than a minute when I use Firefox. Works in Edge, but then there's ads.
Be sure to use Firefox and "uBlock Origin", not Adblock.
youtube hasn't touched their anti-adblock code since june
Saving up all the changes for when they finally drop Manifest V2.
As a firefox user you won't be affected by that.
I am using it with Firefox together with a pie hole equivalent (Mullvad, NextDNS, ...) and my YouTube experience is ad free.
ublock on Vivaldi here, never saw an ad on YouTube since years.
