    I use Firefox for general browsing and clear all cookies and history every shutdown. The problem I had was I had been rotating UBO, ABP, AdBlock, ghostry, Twitch Ad Block etc. and they all kept messing up browsing, YouTube, or Twitch in one way or another.

    Brave was the only one to not fail on YouTube at any time in the last year, so I kept it just for YT.

      Fair. I would say you don’t need most of those. Just try uBO alone. Add others as needed. But realistically you should not have to. All you should have to do is add a block list to uBO.

        I did I only ever enabled one at a time. They all had their issues with Twitch and YT blocking though. I’ve not found a solution for Twitch that works well, so I just sub to the occasional streamer now.
