J'utilise Edge et voici comment faire pour bloquer les pubs #youtube :
1) Ajouter les extensions #uBlockOrigin (toujours utilisable avec Edge) et AdBlock. Activer les 3/4 des filtres de uBlockOrigin
2) Dans #AdBlock
- activer uniquement "Filtres anti-contournement"
- et modifier le paramètre "Afficher les publicités partout, à l’exception de ces domaines" en y ajoutant ~youtube.com

uBlock et #AdBlock ensemble bloqueront les pubs youtube.
Garanti !

🤖 You can now block many #AI websites & content from your search engine results!

✅ Step 1 - Add this free & open source #Adblocker to your #browser: github.com/gorhill/uBlock

✅ Step 2 - Open the setting "dashboard" of the plugin, go to "filter lists" > at the bottom "import"

✅ Step 3 - Add this list there & apply: raw.githubusercontent.com/layl

🥳 Done 🥳

PS Opted for the oldschool #guide look, hope you like it too <3

LinkedIn changed how they code their landing page and I needed to adjust my uBlock Origin rules to hide the cluttered up "news" (really, ads) feed they put down the side of the page. If like me you want an uncluttered experience and use uBlock Origin, here's a rule that hides that feed:

uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing.

The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset: - uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists - EasyList - EasyPrivacy - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page…

Are you sure? I don't use browsers that can't run full-fat #uBlockOrigin, and so I can't test this, but the Web page makes it sound pretty useful. I quote:
