The publication&#8217;s analysis found that this situation is plaguing customers on Chrome, Courageous, Edge, Opera GX (<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/youtube\/why-youtube-is-not-working-for-users-of-opera-gx-with-ad-blockers\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/youtube\/why-youtube-is-not-working-for-users-of-opera-gx-with-ad-blockers\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/youtube\/why-youtube-is-not-working-for-users-of-opera-gx-with-ad-blockers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not the primary time<\/a>), and different internet browsers; nevertheless, one other report would possibly&#8217;ve hit the nail on the top: <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/youtube\/comments\/1r5oc17\/youtube_now_turns_off_comments_and_video\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/youtube\/comments\/1r5oc17\/youtube_now_turns_off_comments_and_video\/\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" rel=\"noopener\">this might be an anti-adblock tactic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One other report claims that is solely occurring when an adblocker is in play.
