I'm on firefox as well. It seems like maybe they are to some extent A/B ing this.

They gave me 3 warnings over a period of a few weeks and then finally stopped playing videos unless I disabled uBlock for the site

One thing to note is that I'm logged in.

Yeah this really sucks. Part of my plan was to just use brave mobile but this stopped working as well yesterday.

I refuse to give google a dime of revenue though. If it were some other company I would have bought the paid service a long time ago but I absolutely will not in this case.

Anyone else finally have YouTube force the adblock off? What works now?

from the self-post dept.

I've been disregarding the ad warnings on youtube but today, while listening to music they finally forced me to turn it off. I was using u block origin up until this pointAnd holy crap is it abysmal, every ad is designed to be as horrifically annoying as possible.So what's the state of the art with adblock specifically for youtube at this point?
