Dunno, but it seems ublock origin's version in Chrome Web Store is 1.53.0, was last updated on 8-th of November. As of yesterday, that version can't get around Youtube's adblocking detection.

I built Ublock latest 1.54.2 from source, and so far (apart from being manifest v2), it can easily go around Youtube's adblock detection with no problem.

I wonder if the delay in the 1.54.x release in Chrome Web Store has something to do with Google purposefully delaying updates.
