YouTube is currently testing an adblock detection feature/algorithm. My main concern with this is if it's going to detect adblockers, will it detect tracker blockers, and if so, will the same punishment that will befall adblock users should this feature go through, will it also befall those of us who use tracker blockers like the Malwarebytes Browser Extension, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, AdNauseam, etc?
