I advocate for a fork of uBlock: adnauseam. It’s a bit financially adversarial which I deeply enjoy, at the cost of using a bit of data. In theory if it built up enough users, advertisers would stop buying clickable ads all together.

This is probably just user-agent sniffing, right? I’d say swap it out to one that claims you’re on windows and see if that fixes it. Good luck :)

Extraordinary claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

I’ll echo that I have felt an algorithm change. I watch a lot of leather crafting videos and a lot of Adam Savage videos. In the past week I’ve been getting Adam Savage working on leather videos and I’ve been thrilled to discover these. As someone who’s been watching both Adam Savage and leather crafting videos for months or maybe years, I should have already seen these, but somehow missed these until this past week. Now YouTube shows me video after video of Adam Savage working on leather, which I love.
