Epiphany getting working YT adblock

I know Gnome Web/Epiphany isnt exactly the best browser and many dont like it but i thought this was something nice to mention.

Epiphany has had the problem of trying to block YT ads because webkit really kinda sucks at this but it looks like it might actually do so now with this MR https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/1000

I like Epiphany personally because its one of my few options for PWA besides Chrome/Chromium these days since FF dropped it. I also like the UI but thats personal taste really. I tried Canary but this doesnt seem to be in the latest available Canary build. Im crossing my fingers this made it for Gnome 41.

I hope Epiphany can actually become a nice alternative for Linux users at some point, a Chrome/FF only world isnt one i particularly like so lets hope lol
