    I have already wondered, why it’s still working for me :). Good to know, then it’s finally settled, I will stay on Firefox. I hope it will continue to work with adblockers there… (Google has way to much “stake” in Mozilla)

      While it’s true that Google has way too much potential influence over Mozilla, I don’t think they’ll ever get their hooks too far in the Firefox browser since there is so much community involvement and so many thriving forks – Librewolf, Fennec, Mull, Waterfox, even Tor.

        Fingers crossed, that you’re right. If I can’t watch youtube without ads, I’m mostly done with it (which would be a loss for me TBH, since there’s a lot of good informational content there…)

          I’d miss listening to Audible Anarchist, and using tutorials to learn things (although they’ve gotten so lengthy and bloated that even those aren’t what they used to be), but I wouldn’t miss it too much. I understand there are people for whom it would be a big loss though, and I’m empathetic to that.
