On: uBlock Origin is no longer available on the Chrome Store

And ublock origin lite works just fine for me

[dowager_dan99 → judge2020]

it's a good base level, but misses dynamic updates, custom rules and interactive element picker/blocker.

Not working as well on YouTube. The ad is blocked, but you still need to skip it. You didn't need to do this with UBO.

It's working fine on Youtube in Optimal mode. If you have still issue, you will have to go through self-diagnosing steps[1] to rule out all the myriad other ways you suffer such issues -- most commonly another extension is interfering negatively.

uBO being so good at blocking YouTube ads to the point where you didn't need to signup for Premium may have been the tipping point for Google that ended manifest V2.

i suspect that youtube mobile is responsible for more traffic than web. And that it's harder (but not impossible) to have adblocking on mobile (such as revanced).

Brave gives you everything Premium for free.

Is all this “privacy” and “monopoly” outrage about a loud group of people wanting to watch YouTube videos without watching ads or paying a dime?

Do they also get outraged when Costco “abuses its monopoly” as soon as they stop providing free samples or cheap hotdogs?
