      Using Firefox and uBlock Origin, and following uBlock’s instructions re: resetting and updating. Getting timeouts and popups from YT regardless.

        Hmmm, I’m not seeing these problems at all. It’s probably worth reporting

        Make sure you’re not using other ad blockers/privacy tools in addition to uBlock Origin.

        I’m sorry to hear that because I had similar problem but clearing cookies & cached web content option ended up working for me. Hope you find something that work because it was awful to experience ads after so long. I track stuff I subscribe to with TubeSync but still like to search for new topics & the ads were annoying.
