   One can hope EU will kick them up a notch and put them in their place due to this Adblocker fiasco.

   Nice, Google will pay more billions to EU and will think again about such a rude approach to monetization.

    This won’t prevent it from doing AdBlock detection. It just prevents them from sharing that information with the YouTube backend.

    However if the checking is done client-side, it can also be blocked client side, so will probably end up in a forever back and forth between YouTube and AdBlock.

    Lol,
    Was ist mit den Bewegungssensoren oder dass Werbung pausiert sobald man von dem Screen weg geht?

    Im fernsehen, Radio ect geht Werbung weiter wenn ich umschalte – auf YouTube wird man gezwungen
