I’ve given up on uBlock for YT because frankly I was annoyed at having to update every two days (and whitelisting channels never seemed to work). Silencing ads is good enough for me.
Very occasionally, like once every 2 years, youtube acts funky. I don’t even update. I just deal with it, and a day or two later it goes back to normal.
Something is off with your setup then, the past breakage was a few years ago, it’s working fine since. Do you have any other extension installed that could be detected? And you were using uBlock Origin?
It’s entirely possible that there was some interaction between addons that I was unable to find back then but I’m fine with how it’s working now and uBlock Origin (yes, that one) is working fine otherwise so I honestly can’t be bothered to tinker with it.
If you use Firefox, try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-disturbance/

Been using uBlock for like 10 years.

I can confirm this behavior. If there is a “race” between ad blockers and YouTube, I am not noticing it.
Idk, it kept breaking the site for me because of the arms race between YT and adblockers.
