I usually see the start of the ads. But they blink by so fast that it's not a bother at all.
That's the thing. She uses Firefox. But she is so stubborn. If she clicked to accept ads she would not actually see them!

Well, seems something may have changed on YouTube again. FF with adblock plus is working fine but Edge with adblock is stalling hard. I tried another PC with Edge on it and no adblock installed, but that works fine. I went back to my PC and I tried disabling adblock on Edge and now it works fine. So, it seems it's not Edge directly or something wrong with my PC. It's just YouTube at it again.
I didn't see any change in adbock version numbers during that ordeal. And why was it only effecting Chrome based browsers? YouTube is trying to say that it wasn't them this time. But I know it was them just testing the waters.
There has been a bit of buzz going around about all this happening with YouTube. YouTube is just not generating the ad revenue that they think they should be getting. And very few are willing to spend the $10 a month for a premium account. Honestly, with all the benefit's you get with a premium account, the ad free experience is the only one I would get anything from. And at $10 a month, it's just not worth it. So, it's getting painfully obvious that YouTube wants adblockers to go away. But with so many domains out there literally flooding their sites with ads trying to make a little free revenue. Many of them have a warning popup that instructs you to disable your adblocker/popup blocker to continue browsing. Sites like those will most certainly deliver the user some malicious code. It's no wonder why so many people use adblockers.
Because YouTube is so determined and not giving up, I decided to make a whole thread dedicated to YouTube's Shenanigans! http://www.killerz.dns2go.com/smfbb20/index.php?topic=230.0

It got so unbelievably bad that Hyundia and Kia dealerships flat out stopped repairing theft victims and several major insurance companies blacklisted issuing new policies for them. I have seen instances where insurance companies have denied theft repair costs or had raised the deductible so high that it would force the customers to pay out of pocket. Not to mention the dozens, if not thousands of people injured or killed stealing these cars.
