Solution to Youtube ads coming through
Found a solution to the recent complaints about youtube ads getting through Adblock, found this under another chrome adblocker extension, it also works for Adblock. I delete the youtube app in chrome and the ads stopped coming through :)
Regarding the numerous complaints about "Youtube ads": It's a
new Chrome 45+ bug.
Workaround to restore uBlock Origin's ability to block Youtube ads,
as found by a user:
- Open a new tab - Type "chrome://apps" in the address
bar (without quotes) - Remove "Youtube" app - Reference:

This is the comment on github: "This happens if you have youtube app in chrome, remove it and uBlock starts working. The new webrequest filtering code treats those apps like extensions and filters the requests out."

Hi bbgd,
Yes, that's exactly the workaround that was suggested in the Google Code for Chrome forum where this bug was first reported. Thanks for confirming it works!
