YouTube’s Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge::The video platform now requires users to disable their ad blockers with an immovable pop-up.

    Currently without issue using Firefox and uBlock Origin. No complaints from YouTube nor ads.

      I was having issues requiring cache dump/updates daily both on a Windows 10 machine with FF/UO and on an ipad with Brave and Orion (which can use UO) including total cookie wipes. Win 11 machines never blinked.

      The last couple days or so, I’ve not seen the block message anywhere. Fun stuff.

      Same here, chrome and ublock origin… did nothing special at all, never seen any of these popups.

      I assume it’s a slow rollout and we’ve both been lucky.

      I had to use element picker mode to select the popup to make it go away, but now i have two issues:

      1. I cant scroll down after a second of the page loading.
      2. Autoplay does not work on playlists

      Unless you’re doing something unusual, it’s probably because you’re browsing youtube without being logged in.

          It was first released in June 2014 as a chrome and opera extension. That’s what I meant. However I did say chromium which would be technically incorrect.

            Your original post is absolute nonsense and reads like someone correcting / saying it doesn’t exist in Firefox at all.

            Op said “I use firefox with uBlock” and you went “ublock is from chromium” - which in the context you explained above is totally useless to the discussion - who cares where it is from?
