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

It’s probably a slow roll out for exact cases like this one to ease the backlash. I havent gotten any notice like such either but Im on Firefox. I do fully support invidious though
