Works on my machine fails to account for A/B testing. Everytime someone says something’s not working, they also mean it’s not working on my machine/account.
uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube.
Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s uBlock.
But I’m on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting “distro specific” bugs in recent months, so I’m chalking it up to “my OS + Firefox” and not “uBlock”
I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.
I’ll give it a shot. I don’t use flatpaks, but I think I’ve already disabled hardware acceleration for a previous issue? I’ll report back once I’ve checked/tried it out.
uBlock Origin on Firefox with default settings and filterlists still works successfully on Youtube.

Google does not always provide the same Youtube code/challenges to you and me. That’s what A/B testing is about.
Is uBlock Origin working for you specifically, enabling it alone with no other add-on?
Yep. Still working on mine. I also use windows 10. Dunno if that matters or not.
Stopped working for me last weekend if i’m logged in. Youtube deploy this kind of things in waves usually.
So seamless that I didn’t even notice
Mine isn’t working flawlessly with this exact set up, but it’s just forcing me to refresh the page every time I load a new video. Still no ads.
Are you using other add-ons?
Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s uBlock.

Reporting back, you were absolutely correct. Hardware acceleration was turned back on, and turning it off fixed the problem.
