¿Por qué YouTube lo desactiva fácilmente? lo paro activando y YouTube lo desactiva al instante. Antes no pasaba eso :(

Nie wyobrażam sobie przeglądarki bez tego dodatku... ale ostatnio YouTube zwyczajnie wyłącza go. Nie mam pojęcia jakim cudem witryna (YouTube) może sobie włączać albo wyłączać wtyczki w mojej przeglądarce, ale u mnie dzieje się to zarówno na EDGE jak i na Operze.
