Figured I’d make a dedicated post this time instead of leaving it in a comment.
If more details are needed, please leave a comment and tell me.

Removing this one did initially seem to work yesterday, but today it isn’t.

Removing this did not work, but this extension has caused adblocker-blockers to yell at me before.

YouTube updates their adblock detection script twice a day meaning you have to update the “quick fix” filter list twice a day aswell. There’s currently no permanent fix. It’s a cat and mouse game.
Ublock Origin is working well again, google keeps updating their script but it only takes a few hours to get a new fix.
If there ever was a best time to donate to them its now
Agreed, but they don’t accept donations. However, they do ask those willing to donate to do so to the creators and maintainers of the filter lists.
I keep getting the box with an x in the top right that takes 5 seconds to click
Go to ublock’s settings, purge the cache and update libraries. That should fix it.
It was probably because one of my YT modders had Adblock enabled
One a complete side note, that Wii Shop Channel Music extension is absolutely hilarious. I love it
Youtube keeps updating their anti adblock so ublock keeps having to update, it’s a silly arms race.
The strange thing is that I’ve never seen any kind of AdBlock notice/warning on YouTube, ever. I’m also using uBlock Origin.
They are evidently doing trial areas and not all IP are affected.
Block 3rd-party frames and scripts and see no ads or popup. Videos still play. I’m surprised that the EU consent banner still works.
Doing the lords work
I had two issues triggering the ad blocking warning. Mind that I’m running Firefox and Ublock origin.
The first was the setting to block ads on YouTube enhancer add on.
The second was a rule I created on Ublock origin to block the notification bell.
After clearing both, no more warnings. At least for now.
I assume it’s uBlock Origin. I have that and another one that I can’t remember the name of, but it ‘clicks ads’ and you don’t see them. I disabled uBO and left the other running. Worked fine for a few videos Sunday but Monday it was throwing the ‘you can’t use an ad blocker’ again.
But I’d wager just about anything that affects YT on your end will throw that message at this point since they desperately want people to pay for premium or watch 3min of ads per 5min video.
AdNauseam, rly great tool for fighting invasive ads (since it doesn’t click on “do not track”/privacy respecting banners)
Ah yeah that’s it. I’d had no issues with it, but I bet it’s getting flagged on YT even though they’re getting those sought after clicks and such. Cause I’d never click on an ad of my own choice.
I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.
My fix was
- disable “Block Ads” in Enhancer for Youtube
- add this to uBlock under “My Filters”:

If you view YouTube without logging in, you should have no issues. You can use the Multi-Account Containers extension to log in selectively per tab, if you need to.
dunno, using libredirect to pass to freetube for the duration…
Block element with ublock
That doesn’t really work, it ends up breaking and not letting you scroll the page.
I literally press the full screen button and somehow it’s fine.
You need to block that element as well. There is like a greyish overlay. Right click on it (the whole screen will be marked.), block element. Then it should be working.
I’ve been lucky or my extensions/network have kept me from seeing any notices.
Alphabet (Google) through yt does block IP, refresh or change fixes it.
YouTube? No I don’t because it’s not the 70s and the rivers are drying up.
