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?

Youtube is not in charge of Google, Google is in charge of Youtube. Google is not against ad blockers, Youtube is against ad blockers, on Youtube.
It’s also easier to fight ad blockers when you know what ad blockers do to stop your ads, since it’s not hard at all to add extensions that are not on the extension webstore. Ad blockers won’t go away if you ban them from the webstore, people will just download them from a 3rd party, and then they have no idea what each ad blocker does, or even which ones are available.
