Free Adblocker Browser not blocking YouTube ads anymore?

Hi, I've been using the Free Adblocker Browser on my Android phone for a good while now, a few years or so, and it's been really great. Up until very recently that is.

For some reason the app has stopped blocking ads in YT videos. I used to never get ads when using the app, but now every single YT video I open throws an ad or two at my face.

I thought it might have something to do with how my phone recently asked me choose default apps for internet searches and so on (more like forced me to choose, wouldn't let me do anything else on my phone until I picked the apps for searching the internet and stuff), and I tried looking at the default apps settings, but I can't even see the Adblocker browser in the selection of apps for one reason or another.

Furthermore, while I was looking at the app settings for the browser, I looked at the app's about info, and to my surprise it says "Copyright 2026 Google LLC. All rights reserved". What is this? Was the browser acquired by Google recently or something?

uBlock Origin: YouTube "X watching now" not updating automatically

During a livestream, the "X watching now" counter doesn’t update unless I manually refresh the page. When I disable Quick Fixes, it updates normally, but then ad blocking stops working.

Is there any custom filters or something to fix this?

YouTube doesn't want us to bypass the 5 second delay anymore

As of last night, YouTube decided to break the script I've been using for months to bypass the 5-24 second delay before loading videos.

This now happens: https://imgur.com/a/1yD7fev

This is the uBlock Origin script I've been using for months: https://pastebin.com/zX45YaLd

Okay so it appears it's trying to play the ads, which is what the 0:00/0:00 is for. The script now seems to be delayed based on how long the ad is. Could be anywhere from 10 seconds to minutes.

Best adblock for youtube to use on microsoft edge

Looking for an adblock extension that I can use on microsoft edge. I really do not want to use another browser as I prefer microsoft edge. I have used uBlock Origin recently which a lot of people recommend but it doesn't work for me for some reason. I used to use pie adblock which used to work great but as of recently stopped working. Would appreciate any extensions that I can use to block ads on youtube. Thank you!
