uBlock Randomly Disables - Ads displayed on YouTube.com #101

Describe the issue

At first I thought this was specific to Adblock Plus, I opened an issue with easylist (See: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/937) however the issue has also occurred with uBlock Origin. My adblocker seems to be randomly disabled while using YouTube.com allowing YouTube to display in stream advertisements despite the usage of an adblocker.

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

Steps for anyone to reproduce the issue

  1. Watch a video on YouTube.com
  2. Wait for uBlock to bug out and advertisements to display. When the extension is bugged the power button will not let you click it.
  3. Profit? In my case sob...

  1. backup all your settings on the main settings page for ublock.
  2. uninstall your current version.
  3. install the latest version here
  4. restore your settings from the backup in step 1.

Or wait until the update comes from the Safari extension store. @nsuchy

I also experienced this with 1.15.4, but I tried again after updating my lists and loading the linked video, and it didn't happen this time.

@Baccount @kode54 I haven't had the issue recently, although I have my suspicions that YouTube is doing an AB Test and removes security researchers and adblock contributors.

I just experienced this issue again today, this time on Slashdot.

Experienced what looks like a disable on a static self-hosted image host server. In the console, I saw:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: vAPI
Global Code -- vapi-client.js:647

This looks like a browser screw up, since it's somehow undefining a variable right in the middle of the file that declares it.

@kode54 Nice catch - hopefully a solution is found :|

Looks similar to https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/167
