Yeah they've really ramped up the nonsense in the last day. I won't watch youtube ads, I'll go back to piracy idgaf. What is the percentage of people using it anyway? I don't think you can use it on phones so already that's a huge number (probably the vast majority) who aren't circumventing it to begin with. I don't think desktop or taptop it's that common for normies either

uBlock Origin updated to 1.53 today so if it's not showing as that version you may need to re-add it to your browser.

Probably. If they can force you into trying multiple things then you might run out of options or just give up in frustration. Either works for them.

But yeah multinationals being consistent, lol.

Literally the same as you, Mint with Firefox and uBO in the UK and I don't get ads, but I have been getting the no adblocking popup now and then. The last time I saw it it was on strike 3 of 3, so I guess the next time it shows might be interesting. I think if you don't use YouTube much and you're lucky with the filter updates you'll never see it as the filters update every 12 hours.

I'm watching about 6-8 hours of YT per day while gaming, history & tech content with the extremely rare song thrown into the mix. If i start getting strikes and adverts i'll just watch more Twitch (currently negating their advert spam as well, extension: Alternate Player for Twitch.tv).

I think if you don't use YouTube much and you're lucky with the filter updates you'll never see it as the filters update every 12 hours. You can also do like I do & update the UBO filters manually a couple times a day. I haven't seen a 3 strikes warning (yet), just the original "adblockers bad" one that comes up occasionally. Once I purge cache & update it's usually all good.

Ads on YouTube are also really loving strange sometimes. Me and my roommate were watching something on YouTube on the tv awhile back and got an ad that was a tutorial and demonstration of how to excrete a dogs anal glands. We were dumbfounded the whole time and watched the whole drat thing.
