For the past three days, I've encountered an issue where ads suddenly started appearing on YouTube even though uBlock Origin was enabled. After some investigation using different browsers (Chrome, Brave, Thorium, and Firefox), I concluded that uBlock Origin and other ad blockers work perfectly until I log into my Google account. When I sign into my Google account, the blockers stop working on YouTube.
I tried using a different Google account and didn't experience any issues; everything worked fine. I also disabled all other extensions and still had the same problem. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there a setting within the Google account that I might have accidentally enabled, allowing ads to bypass uBlock Origin, or has Google started targeting individual accounts?
