I never even got that “stop blocking ads” pop-up that people have been talking about.
I never did but my girlfriend did. We both use Ublock Origin in Firefox in the same house. I absolutely cannot seem to bypass the message even after updating her filters and purging the caches, but on my PC it’s like Google never implemented the policy. I don’t understand it.
Make sure there is only one ad blocker. Using multiple ad blockers pretty much guarantees you get the pop up.
Enhancer for Youtube has an ad blocker that has to be disabled and some addons for hiding youtube shorts can even trigger the popup.
It was the adblocker setting in Enhancer. Turned it off and problem solved, so thank you.
I had to manually turn on the ‘annoyances’ filter in ublock, has worked fine since then. One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the video is paused when I click on it, have to manually start it, but that is a small price to pay.
