Me still haven’t seen that shit, but my cousin does. Weird
Same, but I think it has to do with uBlock Origin updating. Nothing on my PC but saw it on a laptop.
A quick cookie purge and updating uBO and it was solved.
… yes. I know because you’ve told me 25 times in the last week.
Firefox nightly working lime a charm. I would rather download any video I want to see than using the shitty native app.
Three one minute adds was enough for me.
It made an attempt for sure, a cute one at that 🤣
I have not changed anything about my browsing habits and I spend like 12 hours a day on YT, haven’t yet seen this. Not very universal.
3 similar but different questions:
- Where do you use YouTube (phone, pc, etc)
- Where do you use YouTube (country, location)
- Where do you use YouTube (browser, app, etc)
PC (ubuntu) and Android both w/ FF & uB. Have yet to see this in Canada.
But it does typically take Google a little while to remember that we’re part of the world…
Pc, usa, chrome
My phone, my partner’s phone, home pc, my partner’s home pc, work pc, laptop, tv. Canada.
I’m self hosting an invidious instance and not once have I noticed any interruptions. 10/10 just use a public invidious instance and be done with it
I get there’s a heap of people on here who’ve somehow never seen these new anti-popup measures before, but they’re definitely becoming more prevalent.
I switched to uBlock and purged the caches and it seems to have fixed the issue (for now anyway)
At some point I’ll have to find a more permanent solution like switching browsers but right now things are working
If you have a VPN just set your location to a place they don’t run ads
purged the caches
Do this daily.
I only had to do it once. Haven’t seen the pop up since.
Am I the only one that clears cookies, caches, and history on exit?
No. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Apparently that’s not as common as it used to be - the number of sites that send a warning about “someone has accessed your account from an unknown device” every time you log in from the same computer!
I just turn those off :-D
I find stuff like that to be entirely useless as most site exploits happen at the server level and have essentially nothing to do with front end operations. Betty plugging in that USB is what you need to worry about.
Use clients such as LibreTube. It works great and even allows skipping sponsored content.
never seen the youtube anti-adblock stuff.
Mullvad vpn + mullvad browser + ublock origin + never logging into google…
Also freetube, also newpipe…
Maybe they don’t bother trying to block vpn users?
from what I’ve read incognito mode is still unaffected, but thats just rumors online
I use a VPN, and I saw the popup.
I saw them, then I purged ublocks cache and updated and they have been gone ever since (also on firefox, because I switched as soon as I read the news that they would pull this stunt on all chromium browsers a year ago).
a more permanent solution would be using an alternative front end like piped. there are a lot of public instances available
But it’s difficult to trust Piped and other 3rd parties with your login credentials. Especially for people who make a living on YouTube. Even if they themselves might be trustworthy, they can’t be perfectly secure, so it becomes added vulnerability.
wait what? piped doesn’t use your login in any way tho? you manually import subscriptions from Google checkout and you create a piped specific login for syncing that across devices. at no point will piped ever ask for your Google account
Ah, cool then.
Nerds rejoice, we will never be defeated
The ReVanced app still works just fine.
not blocking ads, scripts. ctrl-shift-c
Not on my PC
Vanilla Brave blocks ads and doesn’t show the blocker. Ublock & Better YouTube will cause it to trigger. Tampermonkey script prevents the blocker from appearing after disabling/enabling Ublock for a video or two.
Fuck YouTube and Google. They make enough money selling my data.
Edit: Okay I get it guys, Brave bad
Ublock doesn’t trigger it. Better YouTube does. Remove it and you’re golden.
Brave is commercial grade malware. How anyone can willingly install that on their system and then complain about google selling data is beyond me. At this point, Firefox is without alternatives.
Explain?
Where to start…
- They once deployed their own cryptocurrency and used your computer to mine without consent,
- They then manipulated all links to Amazon and some other shops to be affiliate links with themselves as beneficiary, earning commissions without user consent (and in violation of Amazon’s terms),
- They install a VPN service without user consent,
- They sell user data (anonymized) to train AI farms

The article is not neutral in its phrasing, but the content is correct. You’ll find other sources if you look around.
Just brainwashed Mozilla shills spreading FUD. Nothing unusual.
Ublock was triggering mine, odd that it doesn’t trigger for others
No, they most certainly are not.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone the way.
Be brave, tell everyone
Let the blocking war commence. Beligerents are referred to as Blockheads.
'tis?
