AatubeI like the artstyle, but the Mv3 blocking API has actually been improved to the point where uBO Lite, the Mv3 version of uBlockOrigin, can block YouTube ads and only fails in edge cases.
it’s not the only propose of uBO to block YouTube ads. It’s purpose is to block ads on as many sites as possible without breaking them, and also to block tracking in the same way. That needs a versatile and nouanced blocking list, with more of specific things to block instead of less of rather general things, and that sadly won’t fit in to that small limit.
But there’s more. A lot of uBO’s capabilities depend on being able to act on the requests as happening. Content replacement, response spoofing, a lot of things. Look up uBO’s scriptlets and how are they used, is in the repo’s wiki. That won’t be possible with uBO Lite. It’s called Lite for a reason, and gorhill was (and is) furious for a reason.
Remember, ad blocking is not just hiding them.
I agree that it is awful to remove the API for reasons you've mentioned, but my point was that it's a misconception that Mv3 broke and limped all adblocking. Currently the list is big enough that only edge case trackers aren't blocked.
