Google recently disabled uBlock Origin and other extensions for Chrome users with no apparent option to restore them. The good news is that you can still make uBlock Origin work. Here is how.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried it for YouTube cause they slow Firefox down to a crawl but it didn’t seem to do anything. Maybe the extension I downloaded was at fault but I couldn’t find an easy way to just do it in Firefox without an extension.
This is the Firefox extension I use, I would check the headers your browser passes with WhoAmI to verify your user-agent, alternatively you can use invidious to get around YouTube’s bullshit.
I bet those sites will play nice if you switch user-agents.
