they aren’t “cracking down on piracy”. they’re mad that a relatively small portion of their userbase is using their cheap devices to stream third-party content that they make no money off of–and so they’re trying to shut down that functionality.
they’re moving away from android anyway, so newer revisions of their hardware won’t have this same ‘problem’
there is mv3 version of ubo here:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home
dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i ‘need to’ look at a yt vid.
adguard’s free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable ‘acceptable ads’ and ignore offer to ‘upgrade’ to a paid version) is, too.
