To all the people crying about "Why shouldn't YouTube be allowed to make money from ads!"
If I print a newspaper entirely funded through advertising revenue - and you pick up a free copy, do you think it is ok for me to break in to your house to make sure you are looking at the ads?
Because that is what YouTube are doing when they deploy their spyware to detect #adblockers
#privacy is a #fundamentalright - fight for it or lose it.
