Description
I am using the following video as a test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t9XZgk6kNY
I discovered when using the Vieb browser that I was seeing ads in the following video. I know that I don't see ads in Brave or Firefox with ublock origin, and I know that Vieb using ghostery's adblock. Curious, I fired up adblocker-electron-example and loaded the page. Sure enough, the same ads appeared.
However, after pausing the video, if I then search YouTube for the same video, it plays without ads! This doesn't occur in Vieb, so I opened up the developer console in both Vieb and adblocker-electron-example. I'm noticing that when I load the YouTube video for both for the first time, one of the items that gets blocked is something called '56-y-ORG.js', request url: 'https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/sodar/56-y-0RG.js'. Maybe it has something to do with cross-origin? On subsequent Vieb loads that network request continues to appear, but on subsequent adblocker-electron-example loads, it does not.
I'd love to help debug this issue and improve adblocking, but I'm still very new to electron and node.js. I was wondering if there is someone I can contact on Telegram or Discord or Matrix to bounce questions off of, since I'd really like to help as much as I can.
