Hello, I have a new Galaxy S10 phone and I downloaded Ublock origin for android Firefox browser but it is not blocking any ads, YouTube in particular is just awful. I use Ublock successfully on my desktop and I don't know why it isn't working on my phone. I'm not very savvy with smartphones so any help is appreciated.

Have you tried updated your adblock lists in uBlock origin's settings? Ads appear to be blocked for me with the following default lists enabled: http://imgur.com/a/V0MGtM8

Thank you, I have looked to see that my Ublock settings are the same as yours and even added one or two more to my list but it has not solved the problem. I went to youtube and immediately got an ad before the video i wanted to watch. There were also other ads on the screen. I never see any ads on my desktop computer using Ublock so it's most annoying they are on my new mobile.

Hi

The adverts before YouTube videos will not be picked up by any add-on as they are part of the video and are used by YouTube to support the free content
