Ads not blocked on youtube ;(

[Ptitchat]

Most of the time, vivaldi blocks ads on youtube quite well. but every now and then the ads appear even though I have activated vivaldi's adblocker.

Can you fix it pls ? I use vivaldi on linux mint, deb version.

Not fixable by Vivaldi.
Youtube is very often winning the race against blockers.

@DoctorG I just checked the filter lists and they hadn't been updated for a few hours. I updated them and didn't have any more ads (maybe that was that ?)
thanks anyway !

@Ptitchat Ah, ok, then sometimes, if you see no blocking, you should manually update your lists.

Have you heard about uBlock Origin? It blocks ads on youtube.

[Ptitchat]

@Stardust I don't see the point since the integrated blocker uses the filters (easylist) that ublock origin uses. It's the same thing, right?
