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?
