Title says it all. Got the message of three remaining videos and then it locked.
I am using FireFox
Edit: Apparently, it was caused by me being logged into YouTube. But I would really like to be. Because that’s where all my subscriptions are. If anyone knows of a way to have it both ways, please let me know.
Edit’ : It was my Ghostery extension that was causing ruckus. I don’t really like the idea of having to switch it off but at least it’s nice to know the cause. Anyway, everything is working now. Even when I am logged in ^^
Also to anyone reading this, keep clearing your cache and update in UBlock Origin!
Recommendation: report the pop-up as a bug with the provided link. Just act confused and claim to not be using an ad blocker. Muddy the waters and make life hell for their devs.

As a SWE you have responsibility for what you do. “Golden handcuffs” isn’t a cover to help wage wars against users. If it becomes an undesirable posting, they’ll either have to pay more or worse engineers will end up working on it.

Judging from how many voters are in the US, it’s basically a totalitarian dictatorship or die.
That like of reasoning is kinda broken. We need people to take responsibility before things go too far. Google engineers can get jobs anywhere, they don’t need to be doing this shit if they don’t want to.

Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they’ll interfere with each other.
Hey bro, what about “I still don’t care about cookies”, “Duckduckgo privacy Essentials” and Mozilla’s “Enhanced tracking protection” ?? Does uBO fulfill all of their roles too?
Refreshing the ublock caches work most of the time however if it doesn’t, clicking the share button and then ‘embed’ just brings up a regular non-blocked video player
YouTube updates their adblock detection script twice a day meaning you have to update your filter list twice a day aswell. However, not the whole list, just the “quick fix” section. Click the clock icon and then update button at the top.
For now I am not messing with my extensions to prevent the YT message. I found that the extension Kill Sticky, which eliminates all kinds of elements that cover content, blows away the popup. So, I just dismiss the message with one click when it comes up.Eventually the adblocker situation will improve, I hope, but for now doing it this way is only a minor inconvenience.Edit to add: Well I got the “countdown” popup, and you can certainly dodge it by blowing it away with a tool that deletes overlays… but the countdown continues and then it does block the content in a new way. Other people posted that accepting the ads once resets the countdown, this did not work for me. I ended up installing my own Invidious instance since I have a Linux box on my LAN but I look forward to better anti-anti-adblock extensions.
SmartTube on Android TV still works great.
I use NoScript, and as far as I can tell, I have blocked the script that showed said pop-up. No more nonsense.
Had no issues on firefox but the popup showed up in brave.
Simply switching off brave shields on YouTube, installing ubo, purging then updating fixed it all up.
UBlock + Brave Browser on Desktop, and Brave Browser on iOS without any issues.
Stop recommending brave browser you absolute troglodytes
The browser literally has a crypto miner built in which they claim is for your benefit but seriously what the fuck
I don’t use brave anymore but when I did I don’t remember it having a miner, just a wallet (that you can delete it anyway). Did they change it? I couldn’t find anything about this miner on their site.
