I assume it’s uBlock Origin. I have that and another one that I can’t remember the name of, but it ‘clicks ads’ and you don’t see them. I disabled uBO and left the other running. Worked fine for a few videos Sunday but Monday it was throwing the ‘you can’t use an ad blocker’ again.
But I’d wager just about anything that affects YT on your end will throw that message at this point since they desperately want people to pay for premium or watch 3min of ads per 5min video.
Ah yeah that’s it. I’d had no issues with it, but I bet it’s getting flagged on YT even though they’re getting those sought after clicks and such. Cause I’d never click on an ad of my own choice.
I’ve been changing my useragent to chrome when I get the adblock popup. I haven’t seen any popups while using a chrome user agent. Not sure if it works 100% of the time but I hope it helps!
It’s linked to your account. If you view YouTube without logging in, you should have no issues. You can use the Multi-Account Containers extension to log in selectively per tab, if you need to.
You need to block that element as well.
There is like a greyish overlay. Right click on it (the whole screen will be marked.), block element.
Then it should be working.
Adblocking on YouTube is an uphill battle, especially on mobile.
Sign up for a VPN trial, set it to a random country. I think I used Argentina or something. Sign up for YT premium, the prices will shock you. I pay ~2$ US a month for a family subscription.
Turn off your VPN, and enjoy YT premium on the cheap, in your native country.
Sure but I’m doing this out of spite at this point. I literally use Firefox as my youtube client because I can’t use ReVanced (patches required a rooted phone which would block my access to some banking apps)
I’m unrooted and I use revanced manager to patch YT and didn’t notice anything about needing root. I use the change package name patch so I can have the official YouTube app installed side by side with the revanced version since Chromecasting only works for me in the official app.
Oh yeah that’s annoying, I just search for the version on apkpure or apkmirror and usually one of those will have a standard APK I can download and select for patching.
Double check the wiki. There’s a Revanced community on lemmy with an up to date version. I have Revanced YouTube and YT music on my unrooted phone and both work fine.
At least on Android you have NewPipe, which is an easy to install alternative Frontend for YouTube, or YouTube ReVanced, which applies multiple Patches to the original YouTube-App in order to make it more useable, however sometime the patching process causes trouble.
I’m currently using Revanced and it still works like a charm and completly adfree.
2$ a month is honestly very worth be not having to deal with sideloading and any of that, and having it be Ad-free on all my devices including my Apple TV is very worth the price. Also I can share it with 9 people

dunno, using libredirect to pass to freetube for the duration…
Just started using freetube as well. It’s working for now.
One a complete side note, that Wii Shop Channel Music extension is absolutely hilarious. I love it
I’ve been lucky or my extensions/network have kept me from seeing any notices.
Alphabet (Google) through yt does block IP, refresh or change fixes it.
You may want to enable other filters for uBlock as the defaults are neant to keeep it all functional!
For me it’s multi account containers.
Fuck, I rely on this for gmail and whatsapp
I had two issues triggering the ad blocking warning. Mind that I’m running Firefox and Ublock origin.
The first was the setting to block ads on YouTube enhancer add on.
The second was a rule I created on Ublock origin to block the notification bell.
After clearing both, no more warnings. At least for now.
I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.
My fix was

AdNauseam, rly great tool for fighting invasive ads (since it doesn’t click on “do not track”/privacy respecting banners)
Ah yeah that’s it. I’d had no issues with it, but I bet it’s getting flagged on YT even though they’re getting those sought after clicks and such. Cause I’d never click on an ad of my own choice.
Doing the lords work
Block 3rd-party frames and scripts and see no ads or popup. Videos still play. I’m surprised that the EU consent banner still works.

YouTube? No I don’t because it’s not the 70s and the rivers are drying up.
Block element with ublock
That doesn’t really work, it ends up breaking and not letting you scroll the page.
You need to block that element as well. There is like a greyish overlay. Right click on it (the whole screen will be marked.), block element. Then it should be working.
I blocked the overlay too and could play the video and interact but couldn’t scroll.
I literally press the full screen button and somehow it’s fine.
As in you can’t scroll the comments? That’s a feature.

You can use ReVanced unrooted. I patched my apk fine and don’t have a rooted phone.

ahhh the reason i can’t is because my youtube app is a split APK which does require rooting 🫠
You could grab a prepatched APK from somewhere trusted. Mobilism is generally fine

I bought using turkey as the country and caught a year plan. Argentina for some reason stopped accepting my credit card.
