The bugs on AdBlock And AdBlock Plus extensions affect not only YouTube but other websites as well (as said by uBO dev). This isn't on google but the extensions themselves. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Source?
