Adblock and Adblock Plus users report performance issues on YouTube, initially blamed on Google but later determined to be an issue in the popular ad-blocking extension.
Update 1/16 - Adblock has informed BleepingComputer that its engineers fixed the problem and released ABP 3.22.1 and AB 5.17.1 on the Opera and Edge extension stores. The same versions are currently in review on the Mozilla and Chrome add-on stores, and should be made available soon.
Does ublock origin even work with chrome on YouTube anymore? I switched to Firefox a couple months ago because, even after updating ublock origin, YouTube still detected that I was using an ad blocker and refused to show me content.
Outages may only affect you if you’re syncing a new device or making a write (adding or editing an entry), otherwise your entire vault is available locally.
And that’s not even a limitation at all, it’s a trade-off. The convenience of syncing devices beats the crap of keepass* solutions for most. And even as a syncthing user, I would absolutely hate having to manage vault sync conflicts myself.
And that’s not even a limitation at all, it’s a trade-off.
No, that’s a limitation AND a trade-off. The stupidity of trusting a third-party cloud provider to manage something as important as all of your fricking passwords is mind-blowing. It’s as if you people haven’t learnt anything at all from LastPass.
I’m a Syncthing user myself and NEVER had a sync conflict syncing my Keepass db across a dozen devices - not even once.

LastPass had a list of concerning design choices, using cloud is not one of them. Your personal preference here is irrelevant.

It’s really not. You can’t expect the average user to set up yet another service to sync their devices in a way that is conflict-free and available at all times for writes. Sooner or later a write will be lost. It’s very much a trade-off between partition tolerance (synchronization of multiple devices), consistency, and availability - see the CAP theorem.
Bitwarden maintains consistency by refusing writes when the server is unreachable. Keepass just delegates partitioning to another service entirely (e.g. Syncthing), which opens the possibility of losing edits.
Considering the breaches lastpass had in just the last year, using their cloud service is absolutely a concerning choice. how they got breached is especially egregious.

People are still using Adblock?
I thought we moved to uBlock Origin several years ago…

Clear the filter cache on ublock origin, and update the filters to the latest ones, should work
What are the latest filters?
Go into the dashboard, clear the filers and update them there.
It does still work, but YouTube is often pushing breaking changes multiple times per week. It’s really an arms race.
Yes.

It’s always fun when I can recommend something better to friends, especially when the new thing requires no new compromises
Adblock plus --> uBlock Origin
LastPass --> Bitwarden
uTorrent --> qBitorrent
1Password is pretty good, too.
ktorrent and keepassXC are better for me.
I use Flud on mobile and Transmission on PC, personally.

I don’t know if they changed something recently, but when there was an outage a few months ago, you couldn’t even open the app nor use the extension https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/14yk2ax/bitwarden_down_this_morning/
