that’s exactly what people said with manifest V3 then all the sudden they were getting strikes on youtube for having their ad blocker on
And how well did that work out? I personally haven’t gotten any strike on youtube, using uBlock/mpv on PC, Youtube Revanced on mobile and SmartTube for TV since forever
Also there’s this https://invidious.io/. So yeah, it’s just the classic cat & mouse game that has been going on for ever since software added drm
Google has already lashed out at Invidious though, and they’ll keep trying
I agree that in most cases people can find workarounds, but I don’t think we should take these things for granted
Google has no ground to stand on against Invidious
They may harass them but it’ll be veeery difficult to chase down all instances
