Not noticing this change from the EU... Guess they're too afraid of pulling that shit here?

Google LOVES A/B testing so it might be just that. I haven't noticed anything either.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

True, could just be lucky. I still haven't noticed any ad blocking changes either, but then again I'm using Firefox with μBlock Origin...

They've been caught before, but there's no regulation for this in some regions

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Big shame that this wouldn't be illegal. But hopefully soon. Very anticompetitive behavior.

It is, just not everywhere. Like the USA

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, the "everywhere" was implied, thank you 😊

I'm in the EU, using Vivaldi, and have the delay since yesterday. It's not on every video though. Seems like UBlock and YouTube are fighting each other every time I open a new link.

That's interesting. Could be uBlock doing its thing then, for which I'm quite thankful
