So, a couple of weeks ago, I suddenly started seeing video ads appearing on YouTube again. I'm talking multiple ads and unskippable ads and stuff, despite the fact that I had ABP installed. I was irritated by this so I went and installed the original Adblock, and the problem went away. Well today, I thought I'd have a look at my ABP settings, and lo and behold, "allow acceptable ads" had been re-enabled! I had disabled it from the get go when I first installed ABP, and I guess on a whim it decided one day that it was going to re-enable it for me. It also deleted all my filters (which is what prompted me to check my settings in the first place), and set everything back to its default. I re-disabled acceptable ads and this suddenly fixed my YouTube issue.
So apparently, ABP at some point started considering YouTube video ads to be "acceptable ads"...anyone know what's up with that?
