Firefox on iOS still doesn’t support extensions and yes, is still based on the same engine as the other browsers.

YT ads are not blocked on Firefox on iOS, I just tried.

È proprio vero che qualsiasi novità, anche e soprattutto con un potenziale costruttivo, avrà sempre una buona dose di critiche e false accuse. Noi, come umani, facciamo proprio schifo.

I didn’t pay much attention about the warning in the article, you’re right. 😅 I’ll edit the post since I’ve been too concise, and I have a lot of negative downvotes. I am quite confident that my YT account has already been “rolled out” because of the many ads in the last 5–7 days. Before, I had 1 or 2 before some videos; now there are also pop-ups. I have made some experiments with VPNs (Mullvad) and browsers in several fresh VMs. uBOL works differently than the standard uBO and, from what I’ve seen, it seems to work fine. I’ll just stop repeating that.

New macOS Sonoma VM, brand new Firefox installation with just uBOL (not uBO). YouTube does not show any ads. ISP dns and no pi-hole or others.

uBlock Origin Lite works just fine.

Chiarissimo! Grazie mille :)

Il danno della pirateria in termini di Pil è di oltre 700 milioni di euro […] mancati introiti fiscali per 319 milioni di euro e perdite anche in termini di occupazione con una stima di circa 10 mila posti di lavoro messi a rischio.

Ah sì, ecco i veri problemi in Italia.
