To get rid of the annoying YouTube message (ad blocker are not allowed on Youtube) use this custom filter in uBlock extension
- Open uBlock extension dashboard
- Open my filters tab
- Copy & Paste this code into my filter
- Apply changes and close all tabs

In human terms, what is that code saying? Never mind, it’s in the source link
There’s a popup that YouTube has started showing these days that tells you “AdBlockers are illegal. Stop using them” or something to that effect. This blocks that popup from appearing.
Somehow I still haven’t seen that message despite also using uBlock and Firefox. Perhaps I’m just further down the line and Google will eventually come for me too, but I wonder if my DuckDuckGo and Privacy Badger extensions may also have something to do with it.
Are adblockers even illegal? I didn’t think it was.
No. It’s up to the browser (and even above it, the user) how the data is displayed.
I guess it’s against YouTube’s terms and conditions.
I keep getting that pop-up, I have had ublock installed for years. I haven’t done anything special to unlock and just refresh the page and it goes away.
Well, that’s pretty dumb and ruins my good times. Glad people are cracking down on it
