I feel like Reddit is doing the same shit.
I can confirm this. I signed up for the free trial of YT Premium (which I immediately cancelled, but I'll take the three months) but YT seems to be detecting that I'm on Firefox and have Ublock installed, so I'm getting the occasional 5 second forced delay, even though I'm a premium user. (They may not count the trial as being a "true" premium user, I'd suspect.)
Well that sounds illegal, it also sounds like Mozilla will see them in court.
Mozilla's funding comes from Google (not all of it but enough that all their other finding source's wouldn't even cover the bulk of the CEO's salery). I doubt Mozilla is going to do much.
We can hope it doesn't bode well for their ongoing anti trust case though
I’m seeing this on Safari with the AdGuard content blocker extension as well.
