Your viewing experience on YouTube might not be as good if you use an ad blocker, a spokesperson for the platform said.
  • A YouTube spokesperson said that using ad blockers could lead to a "suboptimal viewing" experience.
  • Some users have also reported delays if they aren't on Google Chrome as their browser.
  • Users may be unable to watch videos unless they disable their ad blockers or buy YouTube Premium.
