Doesn't block YT ads #93

Hi,

I've added the block list, but I'm still having ads during YT videos especially at the start of the video. What's the matter? Is it not possible to block YT ads?

Thank you

I explained why this is the case today Feb 3 2021 Issue report It's because the queries are hashed (randomized) between videos and ads, so trying to block anything that "looks" like an ad also blacklists the video hashes. So you'll be stuck, not seeing an ad, and not seeing your video play.
