Water fox no longer blocking YouTube ads

Just did an update on Water fox and now YouTube seems to know I’m using adblockers and warns I can’t use until I remove them.

Are there any recommended extensions I can use?

uBlock Origin blocking 1 million ads on Kick?

uBlock Origin blocking 1 million ads on Kick?

Title says it all. I know, I know.. Kick is awful. However, I just happened to notice that the icon showed 1M and it piqued my interest. It doesn't seem to be slowing anything down or running weird but does that number mean it's currently blocking 1 million ads?

Allowlist broke after installing 2nd adblocker, remains broken even after keeping only 1

A few days ago, Fandom/wikia started somehow bypassing my adblocker (Adblock Pro) on my iphone. I downloaded AdGuard per the suggestion of another user, and it sadly did not change the situation with Fandom. I uninstalled AdGuard since I only need one adblocker, but now the allowlist on Adblock Pro is broken. This is a problem since my allowlist is for sites that hide the entire page if it detects an adblocker, like tv tropes. I assumed it was because I didn't turn off the AdGuard extensions on Safari before uninstalling, so I redownloaded AdGuard to turn the extensions off and then uninstalled AdGuard, but my allowlist is still broken. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Should I switch from Meta Ads to Google Ads for pre-owned iPhones? (South Africa)

Looking for some honest advice on whether I should switch to Google Ads or if the issue is deeper than the platform.

I run a pre-owned iPhone business in South Africa.

On Meta, things look good on paper:

Strong CTR, CPC, and overall engagement

Lots of add-to-carts and checkout initiations

Cheap traffic and solid reach

But conversions are the problem. I’ve spent around R14k total and only got about 6 sales across campaigns. Traffic comes in, people browse, but very few actually complete payment.

What I’m seeing in practice:

A lot of people are interested but don’t end up buying

Many can’t afford the device

A big portion fail BNPL approval

Others want long-term installment plans (12 months+)

It feels more like low purchasing power / low qualification than lack of demand

Business setup:

Competitive pricing for SA market

BNPL + cash options

Warranty, returns, reviews, trust signals, etc.

Limited stock (~15 devices rotating)

Main question: Would switching to Google Ads actually improve this by bringing in higher-intent buyers (people actively searching “buy iPhone 13” etc.), or is this mainly a conversion/affordability issue that will persist no matter the platform?

Would appreciate insights from anyone who’s run both in a similar space.

Youtube does not load videos when ad blockers are active

Like the title says, as the site loads it shows the videos etc. But once it finishes loading the vids, the site goes blank. However, when the ad blocks are off everything works fine

When ad blocks are active

When ad blocks are off

Using edge, windows 11 - issue noticed on 21st June

This only happens in the homepage, if you are quick enough - as soon as the thumbnail appears clicking on a video will show suggestions as normal

If quick enough, the videos load after the 'ad's duration', but everything else works normal

Edit: This issue does not happen in Incognito

AdNauseum Not Blocking Youtube Ads on OperaGX?

As stated. I just installed today. I'm still mostly ad-free it seems, but an ad pops up every few videos.
