I have posted the following under an existing thread about a similar issue but received no answers, so I'm creating a new thread now:

For a while now, Epic hasn't been working correctly on my device when it comes to blocking ads on YouTube.

On all other platforms, ads are blocked perfectly fine. On YouTube however, they start playing in the beginning of videos. If I refresh the page, they don't play. They never play within or after videos either. Only when a new video starts, but that is very annoying already.

I know YouTube has been trying to outplay ad-blockers, so I can imagine Epic's ad blocking has not caught up with the recent developments.

Is it a problem of only my system, is it a general problem that will be fixed soon, or should I install an additional ad-blocker, that handles YouTube adds correctly?
