    Copy the URL, open it in a private window with ublock origin set to allowed in private windows. Can still view the video, and now they also can’t attribute it to your user account.

    So they lose again.

      They can definitely still associate it to your household by IP though. Me and my roommates get video suggestions for things the others are interested in because of the IP tracking.

        While they can track your IP for all sorts of nefarious purposes, they can’t and won’t associate it to use of an ad blocker if the ad blocker has successfully blocked their ads because they, by definition, don’t know that you’ve blocked them. If they did they would show the popup.
