There's news going around that Youtube might start persecuting users for their web browsers and configurations of choice, whatever that entails in this case ad-blockers. I use Firefox on Linux with extensions like AdBlock Plus for 15 years, will never change that to appease yet more crazed tyrants that want to control even what's on my machine and how I browse the web.
I wanted to know if steps are being taken by ABP and others to avoid this, in case Youtube someday decides to go through with it. I don't know how and why an external website like Youtube is allowed to detect what's in my web browser, if this happens by default I'd rather disable websites knowing what extensions I have entirely if that's possible. For now is the issue known to adblock developers and are they prepared to ensure users are safe from Youtube's threats and intrusions?
