I watch youtube a lot and I've never seen one of these adblocking popups. I use uBlock Origin. Does this actually affect uBlock Origin for some users, or is it just hitting the people who download one the thousands of other weird "Super BlockAd Xtreme" type extensions?
- mananaysiempre 3y agoYes, I’ve seen this happen with uBO on Firefox for Windows.
- tehbeard 3y agoA/b testing or rolling out country by country probably.

- Raed667 3y agoi use unlock and started seeing them a couple of days ago. very infrequently and they go away when you reload the page. it seems like they’re collecting behavioral data.
- LightHugger 3y agoI've seen it with ublock but i suspect it's being triggered by sponsorblock rather than ublock
- ta8645 3y agoI doubt Youtube cares about Sponsorblock. That isn't used to skip Youtube Ads, just content creator ad reads and such, that Google doesn't get any money from.
- Probiotic6081 3y agoI get it with ublock but without sponsorblock too. They're AB testing.
- Zardoz84 3y agoohhh. I have both and I get these anoying message
- ls612 3y agoUblock is pretty on top of it but sometimes it can be broken for a few hours. My suspicion is that YouTube will do this cat and mouse game for a while until it faces diminishing returns and eventually it will settle into a stable equilibrium with only more tech savvy people blocking ads, like what happened with Twitch.

- silenced_trope 3y agoI've heard about this for months now but I only recently started seeing it. I use Brave browser and followed their suggestion to turn on the "aggressive" setting, but it doesn't get around this. I believe as they roll out this "feature" to more people you'll get hit by it.
- sircastor 3y agoI’ve just started to see them on Brave. If you’re not getting them I’d say it’s because you’re not in the test group yet.
- belltaco 3y agoThey're trying to slow boil the frog to avoid a collective backlash and alternative switching like with Reddit.
