Question Ublock & Youtube

[Colif]

This is in 10 minutes of the Ublock Origin logger results for the Youtube homepage , it had started from 0.
just running Ublock Origin on YT page in Firefox increases CPU usage by 7% or so.

link at bottom of page just shows - https://opengraph.githubassets.com/...b2154b6c0f7c3e660f/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues

Not sure i want to sign up to report it, I find I often get errors before others do... so i could just wait for more results to show up in searches- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues

Still not sure what its doing?

It happens on Chrome, Firefox & Edge. I don't know how long for as I only noticed it yesterday. Having over 795 blocked items caught my attention. And it was growing while I watched it. That didn't seem normal.

2 constants:

1. UBlock Origin
2. Youtube

It could be the website since it doesn't happen on any other page I visit.

Its not just my PC, an ex mod from here also noticed it last night.

That's because a lot of youtube videos are actually paid ads, so they're blocked. There are also a lot of duplicates on the page. You would have to check your filter lists to see what sources are identified as advertisers; perhaps Fanboy's Annoyances or Fanboy's Notifications? And these paid ad videos are constantly being added which is why the count constantly increases. It sounds like both youtube and ublock are behaving totally normally for them. Adblock behaves the same way.

i have a premium subscription so I don't get the ads on top of videos, I only see the ones inside videos like what Kitguru do.

I will check the filter list as its possible cause.

I noticed today that whatever was happening when you first noticed this seems to have stopped. Only 61 blocked with all Ublock lists selected. It seems like the anomaly has passed.

i turned mine on 3 hours ago and it was up to 44 just now, so I need to look at filters. I haven't as such looked in there in years so it shouldn't be something I did.
