Hi all,
As the title says, YouTube is trying to restrict ad-blockers. But the ones that I am using are freely available through Chrome WebStore. Both Chrome and YouTube are owned by Google. Why would a company try to fight an issue with one subsidiary while giving us an out for the same issue through another?

There is not much chrome can do when blocking ads is mostly client side. They remove the extensions from the web store, you can use tapermonkey. They detect when you use adblockers and block you from visiting the website, adblockers get better and simulate that you load.the ad. They push all that too much, chrome loses their competitiveness in the market.
The truth is, not many people use adblockers. And they know it so for now it’s not a war they can win much and they can lose a lot.
