Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

For whatever reason now when I have Ublock enabled every page on YouTube loads twice, and playlists are completely unusable as they reload indefinitely. If I disable Ublock this stops. Every other site seems to be just fine.

YouTube have a habit of A/B testing, i.e. they push different interface code to some people and not others. As such, some of us won't have received that particular update and they'll be watching and comparing their analytics between people using the platform to see which ones are actually struggling.

Because they desperately want people who use ad-blockers to struggle, and not anyone else.
