Currently without issue using Firefox and uBlock Origin. No complaints from YouTube nor ads.

I was having issues requiring cache dump/updates daily both on a Windows 10 machine with FF/UO and on an ipad with Brave and Orion (which can use UO) including total cookie wipes. Win 11 machines never blinked.

The last couple days or so, I've not seen the block message anywhere. Fun stuff.

Same here, chrome and ublock origin.. did nothing special at all, never seen any of these popups.

I assume it's a slow rollout and we've both been lucky.

I had to use element picker mode to select the popup to make it go away, but now i have two issues:

  1. I cant scroll down after a second of the page loading.
  2. Autoplay does not work on playlists
