News & Reviews:   ad-blocking

It's not uncommon for Google and YouTube to try curbing users with ad-blockers. Today, recent reports indicate that YouTube is deliberately slowing down video playback for users with active ad?blocking extensions.

If you're like us, you probably encountered videos with annoying ads while browsing the internet or watching YouTube, some that appear in the middle of watching a video. This can happen even for short videos, which gets annoying. Now, it looks like Google wants to start putting a stop to that by setting up restrictions.
