    Most often this happens because the user runs some other addon/blocker that interferes with ublock (or gets detected). It’s important to test with only ublock active and see if the problem persists, and if not, to slowly enable more and more to see what is causing the issues.

      For me there was about a day where google was winning against ublock even if I was onoy using Ublock. Now though Ublock is back to winning, and I only occasionally have to refresh my cache

      Yup, for me it was enhancer for Youtube’s ad blocker that was interfering. Didn’t see the popup since turning it off.

      I freshly installed win10 Firefox+uBlock and got this message after a while (was around 2weeks ago) first I could x the message, then the message had a timer, then 1-3 vids until block and then blocked.

      That was at my parents house, now I’m back in my home with different pc win11 (same fresh FireFox+uBlock) and now I don’t get these messages anymore.

        That probably was the “not up-to-date filter lists” problem, or the rare “filter lists themselves not updated yet”, but they are within a few hours usually.

      I’m not on YouTube’s side. But, ultimately Youtube has the advantage here. You guys are talking about technical solutions to get YouTube to continue sending you videos. But, YouTube has the nuclear option in their back pocket. Enshitification, YouTube is one of the only platforms that still works well on the internet without an app or logging in. If they want to badly enough they’ll stop allowing people to use YouTube signed out and ban accounts that watch with Adblock enabled.

      We need to work on building platforms that work outside of Google. I think the hardest question is how would that work with monetization for new/smaller creators.

      Only had ublock active, still happens. For now it still goes away on refresh or if I switch adblockers (so I’m assuming cleaning out the cache daily will work too).
