A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe the filter rules required specifically for YouTube don’t work with those rule formats, I don’t know!

That's all you need to read from the article. The author doesn't know how ad blockers work (which is fine, I'm also no expert) and completely ignores the ad blockers developers expertise (which is not fine).

Yeah, surely you have to find out first, before writing an article titled "Tech news doesn't understand ad blockers or Chrome extensions"? This appears to be the crux of the article, and yet the author isn't worried about finding out? Weird.
