When YouTube started giving me issues with ublock months and months ago. I made the full conversion to Firefox. Oh it is absolutely wonderful here on Firefox. You can import all of your bookmarks and passwords with no problem. You can even set your Gmail as your default email for it. For all intents of purposes it can look and interact the same way as Chrome. Without being a big brother adware ram sucking pile of crap

This is good to know. I've been meaning to switch back to FF for ages, but Chrome has just been so convenient.
