uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

Resources for uBlock Origin, uMatrix: static filter lists, ready-to-use rulesets, etc.

Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?
