Edit: I opened another tab in a separate Firefox container and didn’t get the pop-up. I believe I read this shit being account-based when the first reports of Youtube’s anti-adblock measures started making the rounds and it seems to be the case still

People kept telling saying ubo+ff was already up to date, but it hasn’t worked for me either.

I updated my filters and the pop-up hasn’t come back, but I fully expect it to rear its head later.

Using Ublock + firefox, I get the pop-up every few videos, but I can just exit out the pop-up and continue with it.

I’ve gotten this popup, I just hit the x to close it and then my adblocker/sponsor block works as normal

You’ll eventually get a three strikes popup or it’ll block you from playing video. Then you have to update uBlock regularly :(

yeah it started making me wait like 10 seconds to close the popup, I grabbed a firefox addon that redirects youtube links to invidious

I haven’t been having issues with uBlock but I’m also using Nano Defender and I’ve manually blocked element on YouTube before so that might factor.

never liked invidious’ UI but it seems like it might be a bit less likely to be rate limited than the popular Piped instances I usually use

honestly yt-dlp and piped and shit means I almost never have to use youtube’s actual UI. I used to pay for premium but the cost on that has gone up and I’m no longer interested in the bundled music service either
