    If you’re using UBlock Origin do the following:

    Go to settings. Go to Filter Lists. Click purge all caches. Click update now.

    That’s it, this message should disappear entirely.

      What youtube is trying to achieve is technically impossible, unless they merge the advertisements into the videos.

      UBlock should just add code that automatically does that every time you start the browser, or daily.

        That would just put an undue burden on the places that host the blocklists, for no good reason. Purge is something that only needs to be done manually in particular cases like this one.

        Not everyone would want the cache cleared all the time. Cache is useful, it prevents you from reloading everything every time. If he was to add the functionality it would probably need to be an adjustable setting.

          Yeah I understand how cache works and it’s benefits, but my point was, if the only way to fix the issue is to clear the cache, and if changes are coming down daily that requires you to clear the cache daily so you don’t see commercials, that they might as well automate that.

          That if you do not want to see commercials you lose the benefits of having a cache, basically.

      I think there is going to be a time when ublock alone cannot simply program their way out of this, they will need help eventually from a completely different approach like anti ablock killers or some other app that hide the blocker itself from detection
