    Maybe the filter rules required specifically for YouTube don’t work with those rule formats, I don’t know!

    That’s all you need to read from the article. The author doesn’t know how ad blockers work (which is fine, I’m also no expert) and completely ignores the ad blockers developers expertise (which is not fine).

      this is what i really don’t get about people defending google’s actions here. what incentive do uBlock Origin developers have to lie about the impact google’s changes to chrome will have on the capabilities of their extension?

      google and ad blocker developers are the only two real subject matter experts here. the former has ample financial incentive to not be completely honest in their claims here, so the benefit of the doubt naturally belongs to the latter.
