    As YouTube tightens its restrictions on ad blockers, privacy advocates in the European Union are betting that government regulations can put a stop to the crackdown.

      Allowing ads is a security risc for the machine. No ads on my machine until youtube accepts financial liability for the stuff it distributes.

        is their right to say "no ads? no service" If at the end is a good decission or not... that's another topic.

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          some things with ADs is the shift of uncertainty the long last 1 second, is so frustrating, unless this just a thing on "other" video sites and how many, when, how long, all add to a bad uncertainty. 90s and 2000s TV growing up was fine. Its N ads, or when the station Ad comes on, the show will resume after. And at set times.
