Ads in Youtube's HTML5 player aren't blocked

[10se1ucgo]

• Chrome 46.0.2490.4 dev-m (64-bit)/uBlock 1.1.0.0
• Default settings for everything

Steps:

1. Open a youtube video url, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCKVD9578eQ
2. Ad is not blocked if played in the HTML5 player

Unable to reproduce using Chrome 46.0.2490.4 dev, uBlock 1.1.0.0rc2 _ default settings. It's probably just Youtube rolling out to some users some new ad mechanism which is not yet covered by EasyList -- i.e. a filter list issue.

Duplicate of #594.

According to this article someone posted to Reddit, the YouTube app within chrome, accessible by entering chrome:\apps into the address bar, is the cause of full-length video ads while an ad blocker is enabled. Removing it seems to fix the issue.

According to this article

What the article fails to mention is that this solution was originally posted by a user (@tvanderka) right here.

Didn't actually read the article, just the reddit comments with the instructions, my bad.
