    If it’s happening it’s not doing so for everyone. I use Firefox and I have never seen this delay.

      I haven’t experienced it either, but Google also typically rolls out changes in waves. They rarely just push to prod and call it a day. They push changes in waves, so they can pull the update or make adjustments if the early waves have issues.

        They do it so we gaslight the people that have it and then it’s too late to do anything when everyone has it lol

      I’d seen it in my Firefox/Win10 + uBlockO setup. I just used yt-dlp and then a uBlock “quick fixes” update sorted it.

      Same.

      The anti-adblock warnings only lasted a few days for me too, not seen them for a couple of weeks now.
