I’m starting to see YouTube’s ad blocker prompt — are you?
I asked if Google was starting to show the prompt to more people, but spokesperson Christopher Lawton pointed back to a statement from June defining the prompt as a “small experiment globally.”
Personally, I’m wondering if it has something to do with my switch yesterday from Chrome to Safari — perhaps my Safari ad blocker is getting caught by YouTube more easily? But let me know if you’ve started to see the prompt more often as of late, too.
Update October 6th, 1:20PM ET: Thanks for the responses! Many seemed to be from people using non-Chrome browsers, so I asked Lawton about that. He says the experiment is browser agnostic, “meaning we are not targeting any specific browsers.”
