uBlock origin lite kinda sucks compared to the OG uBlock, though. YouTube videos have this awkward buffering at the start now, sometimes YouTube homepage ads still load, sponsored placements on GrubHub/DoorDash appear and aren't able to be removed, etc.

I thought that was more specific to YT than UB?

My UB experience remains largely unchanged since the switch to manifest v3, I pay for YT to avoid ads and support creators directly.

"I pay to remove ads so my experience with a neutered adblocker isn't as bad" is a weird take.

If you think the end game is companies deciding they're comfortable with removing ads in exchange for a subscription, rather than a subscription with a gradually increasing amount of ads, then I have a bridge to sell you.

I support the creators I watch by donating to them directly.

I use UB for all the other websites, not YT, it's a weird take to associate UB usage and experience with a single domain.

> I support the creators I watch by donating to them directly.

Me too, on top of the monthly fee that gets distributed to those I watch. More for every creator, even those I only watch once or sporadically

I mentioned multiple domains...? I said it also impacts sponsored listings on food delivery platforms. Those used to be blocked and, more broadly, the ability to manually block specific elements of a webpage was lost with the transition to UB lite.

uBO Lite does not support a lot of filters and there is no element picker. Also, a lot of other add-ons are unsupported due to no MV2 support.

It can block sponsored chat response content too? And agentic behaviors that act on behalf of sponsors?
