Are any of these (firefox) extensions causing the 'Adblockers are not allowed on Youtube' message for you guys? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Figured I'd make a dedicated post this time instead of leaving it in a comment.

If more details are needed, please leave a comment and tell me.

ClearURLsDisabling this extension did not remove the popup, but here's my settings anyways:

I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.

My fix was

  1. disable "Block Ads" in Enhancer for Youtube
  2. add this to uBlock under "My Filters":
! from https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2023/05/15/bypass-ad-blockers-not-allowed-on-youtube/

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Ublock Origin is working well again, google keeps updating their script but it only takes a few hours to get a new fix.

I keep getting the box with an x in the top right that takes 5 seconds to click

Go to ublock's settings, purge the cache and update libraries. That should fix it.

It was probably because one of my YT modders had Adblock enabled

YouTube updates their adblock detection script twice a day meaning you have to update the "quick fix" filter list twice a day aswell. There's currently no permanent fix. It's a cat and mouse game.

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.

AdNauseam, rly great tool for fighting invasive ads (since it doesn't click on "do not track"/privacy respecting banners)

YouTube? No I don't because it's not the 70s and the rivers are drying up.
