What is UBlock's origin? 

Ublock Origin is a widely used free and open-source ad-blocker that helps to block ads on YouTube and other websites. This popular browser extension can be easily installed on popular browsers such as Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and Edge. Once installed, the extension automatically blocks unwanted ads, allowing you to have an uninterrupted browsing experience.

If you don't want to disable ad-blocking on YouTube completely, you can easily pause uBlock or AdBlock Plus while watching videos. You can even configure some browsers to stop automatically when you open a new tab or window.

Reinstall Ublock
