@thomasfuchs This is exactly why I never use Chrome. I typically use LibreWolf, which is a privacy-hardened fork of Firefox.

BTW, if people think Brave is going to save them from this, it's not. I downloaded Brave, tested it with uBlock Origin on YouTube, & it did not block anything (when it normally blocks numerous YT ads). And while the built-in Brave Shield will catch much of this, it's not perfect & misses things. I cannot advocate enough for everyone to get out of anything Chromium-based.
