    Open your ublock Origin dashboard and add the following 4 lines:

    youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

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

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

    You're welcome.

      I highly appreciate your effort but I'm not sure if I even want to go to YouTube anymore. Is my life really going to get worse without YouTube?

        Nah it definitely won't lol. But there's gonna be those times people link it and you're gonna get annoyed by it otherwise. shrug-outta-hecks

        One day peertube will figure out peer to peer at large scale and then everything will change.

      I'm worried one day they will re-encode videos with advertisements themselves, or something similar to that. Although I guess SponsorBlock takes care of that, until they straight up just break/remove extensions with their crazy "Web Environment Integrity" proposal.

        That would screw up those who actually pay for YouTube. But who knows.

          Not if they serve a different video based on your account status. They always have ways of doing things lol

        Yep that should usually be the first thing that opens.

        I have never had any issues with youtube ads since the changes with this. They will probably adapt to it eventually but so far no problems, european region though so who knows if they have different approaches to different regions. Judging by your instance choice I assume you're in the UK like myself though.

          Ah. I went through the ublock settings from the addons page, maybe thats why I threw ke the first page.

          Let's just hope it carries on, but I'm not a programmer, so I couldn't tell if there could be a workaround.

          And yes, I am from England.

            There's loads of things they can do but ultimately it'll just provoke a new method of countering it. This is why they want to push software level changes to browsers that would allow them to prevent adblocking entirely.

              Yeah, I don't see how they think they could ever win this.

              Much like a lot of others on here, I am fully prepared to lose access to sites if they force me into their bullshit.
