Users who recently experienced problems with YouTube’s functionality blamed ad blocking software, and it turns out they were right. However, the issue was not caused by Google, but rather by popular browser extensions like AdBlock and Adblock Plus. Users who used other extensions, such as uBlock Origin, did not encounter similar difficulties.

Representatives from AdBlock and Adblock Plus admitted that the problem did indeed arise from their extensions. However, the problem has already been fixed, and users should no longer experience any issues related to YouTube and other websites.
