    I’ve still yet to see it… not even had to do any of those things. Something about my setup I guess neutralises it.

      Me neither.

      • Windows

      • PiHole (AWS Lightsail instance)

      • Edge

      • TubeBlock extension

      Waiting for the hammer to drop. OTOH, I don’t watch much Tube.

      I was, but they stopped appearing once I completely cleared browsing history and cookies. I also did another purge and update for good measure.

      The only pain in the ass was that I ended up changing the username of some of my accounts but forgot to update them in my account manager, so it took a bit to find and log into them. But that was completely on me and won’t happen if you’re not being an idiot like I was.
