It's weird but I saw the anti-blocker modal a week or two but them it stopped appearing and never saw it since shrug

Might be because of the EU ruling, if you're in the EU.

I'm in the US, and had the same experience.

I got the you can't use an adblocker message, but was able to close and/or reload the page to watch videos without ads. After a week or so it stopped popping up.

US, Firefox, uBlockOrgin.
