- wheresmyshadow 3y agoNot necessarily, if you kept your filters and extension up-to-date, you won't see that pop-up either. uBlock handles it just fine. During early days of YT trying to force me to disable it, all I had to do is to open the settings, update filters and it was just fine. Thankfully it's been peaceful now for long time.
- CWuestefeld 3y agoThis isn't correct. A few weeks ago it started stopping me in FF with uBO running.
- strich 3y agoUblock does all this. However in the first few weeks you had to manually update it. In Firefox it works flawlessly now.
- zerr 3y agoThat modal popup can be blocked as well. Ad blockers have element pickers for a reason. No need to wait for some official lists updates.
- 0xcoffee 3y agoI noticed it only when logged in. When logged out my UBlock works perfectly. (Note, I havn't logged in for a while, so maybe the situation has improved in the meantime) (Firefox)
- elcapitan 3y agoI got that modal for some time, switched to yt-dlp for that time, and now I get zero ads or modals again with FF/uBlock. Not sure what they are doing, maybe I'm just lucky.
