    I have never used chrome. Not once. I do not use edge except where required. (Hasn’t happened in ages) I’ve been using Firefox since 2004. It has always served me well, and I’m quite sure it will continue to do so. YouTube can go to the same place Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok and Twitter can go…. Straight to hell.

    Do not pass Go,

    Do not collect $200

    so i have used nothing but chrome forever. use uBlock Origin with all options for “good” ads turned off and have never had an issue with ads or notices from YouTube. never seen one.

    is this a phone only problem?
