still using Firefox and ublock and all seems fine to me
Same. I’m wondering if it’s limited to certain markets for the time being.
For me it’s a “soft” popup - a simple banner with a close button telling me not to block ads. And it doesn’t appear very often, I think I’ve seen it twice.
You will get the timer one in due course.
I first got the ‘soft’ banner, then it went to timer one (and this timer comes after watching 3 videos with ‘soft’ one.)
However, uBlock still removes the banner, but you have to click on the video after a few seconds to start it. Alternately you can hit F to fullscreen the video, and the banner just goes away and the video starts (without uBlock).
Many people have either not up-to-date filters, or are using some other addons/features that interfere with uBlock/trigger the adblock detection.
a few seem to be sneaking through today, refreshing the page seems to fix it though
I got the AdBlock screen only every 2nd or 3rd video…
I am using unlock and Firefox and getting hit by the anti-adblock
I have never gotten a adblock popup using Firefox and ublock origin while my friend has gotten several on Chrome. I wonder if I’m just lucky that I’m not in the adblock block rollout on YouTube or if Firefox+ublock is working
Probably just lucky. They didn’t roll it out to all Firefox users at once. I got it several days after other Firefox users started reporting getting the popup. I followed the instructions to update my quick fix list in uBlock and it’s gone again. However, the first time I did it it came back after a day, so it may just be a never ending game of whack a mole.
Same Firefox and unlock setup (also sponsorblock) but I got a pop-up about ad blockers the other day and I just closed it and the rest of the site works fine.
Who asked? This comment thread is clearly about alt front ends yet here you are telling us still Firefox works for you. Okay, and???
