Several users reported problems with the YouTube platform. Not only was it very slow, but they also had interface and response issues.
Everything seemed to indicate that this could be due to a problem arising from a new attempt by Google to fight against ad blockers, and it began to be blamed for YouTube working so poorly and so slowly. The truth is that, in the end, it turns out that the Mountain View company is innocent, and that the problem lies in an update that AdBlock received.
This update, version 5.17.0, is causing a conflict that affects the performance and correct operation of YouTube. We will have to wait for an update to be released to resolve this problem.
If you use YouTube very frequently and want to get back to normal, it is confirmed that other blockers are not causing these problems, so you can leave AdBlock and switch to another one.
Some users have reported that an AdBlock update has already started to arrive that resolves this issue.
Let’s remember that for some time now Google, the owner of YouTube, has been trying to eliminate the ad blockers installed by users.
