Description

Secondary Problem: I cannot find what "respective links" the prerequisites are trying to say. The YouTube hyperlink there sends me to https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/20586 which I have followed all the instructions carefully but does not guide me to the "respective links" I am trying to find. If I could find that "respective link" for filing uBlock Origin YouTube issues I would definitely report my primary probelm there. Please understand that I know the moderator's frustration (although I bet the bots will just ignore what I am trying to tell here) when I ticked 'This is NOT a YouTube... respective links.' despite it being a YouTube related problem. PLEASE provide me the "respective link" if this 'unduly burdens volunteers'.

Primary Problem: From around 10:30 a.m. 11/06/2024 (UTC+8), my YouTube on Brave plays videos with ads despite it not having any problems at all the day before. The ads are like embedded into the videos and I cannot skip them, some of which are around 3 minutes straight. I am able to skip the ads if I disable uBlock Origin. I have switched to using Firefox at this moment (around 19:00 p.m. 11/06/2024 UTC+8), but the videos still include ads sometimes. However, on my other YouTube account I don't have the ads problem, so I was wondering if that is just some partial implementation of YouTube's new methods of stopping adblockers. Please understand my frustration after having no problem with uBlock Origin for about 8 months and I hope someone can solve my problems. Attached screenshots are some examples of videos I have clicked on that had ads displayed.
