Google's Chrome browser now aggressively thwarts uBlock on YouTube.com.

Since Firefox is not owned by Google, uBlock still works.

Isn't this just asking for an antitrust case? There is no way I implement this for my own site.

Implement what? Anti-ad-blocking?

If the browser just does block ad-blocking on YouTube. If I would be hosting a video platform, can I add my site to the list?

There's already an ongoing antitrust case against Google, so they could be banking on the fact that if it fails there likely won't be enough political capital to go after them again.
