Y’all…get the hell off chrome and chromium. Firefox and uBlock Origin lmao. I have no idea why so many people still use these browsers when there is a free and fantastic alternative that has been around longer than chrome has - and is more secure/privacy focused to boot.
This is not a chrome vs firefox issue. People using an adblocker on firefox are getting blocked just the same.
See:
source (sorry for the reddit link)
Most often this happens because the user runs some other addon/blocker that interferes with ublock (or gets detected). It's important to test with only ublock active and see if the problem persists, and if not, to slowly enable more and more to see what is causing the issues.
I freshly installed win10 Firefox+uBlock and got this message after a while (was around 2weeks ago) first I could x the message, then the message had a timer, then 1-3 vids until block and then blocked.
That was at my parents house, now I’m back in my home with different pc win11 (same fresh FireFox+uBlock) and now I don’t get these messages anymore.
That probably was the "not up-to-date filter lists" problem, or the rare "filter lists themselves not updated yet", but they are within a few hours usually.
