    Is it reliable? Ad-blocking is a cat and mouse game and to actually have a useable ad-blocker it needs to be well maintained over a long period of time (for example like ublock origin).

    Their concept looks nice, but they are researchers and I’m a bit afraid that they just drop that, write a paper about it and that’s it. If there is no constant maintenance this will likely stop blocking YouTube Ads once Google deploys the next changes.

    Update: checked the repo and it’s actually a fork of ublock origin, so it should (for now) be pretty similar, but still they would have to keep maintaining that.

      It’s been maintained for over 10 years by now so it shouldn’t be going anywhere.

        Wow didn’t now that. I’m surprised I never heard of it, but I will definitely give it a try.
