I gave up and got premium. It actually works out because we've cancelled Disney+ and Paramount+ and switched from the Spotify family plan to the Youtube Premium family plan and we're saving money, but I'm annoyed that I've resorted to this.
Do you need to be signed in to Youtube to get this?
Interesting question I'm genuinely curious think I'll experiment that
I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn't see it popup it was still there.
Just saw the "will be blocked after 3 videos" for the first time" (I was only seeing the generic warning so far). Updated filters and it went away.
I recently stumbled upon this post; seems like filing a complaint to said entity is something you can do if you're in the EU. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to. The fella over there has even provided the text he's sent. If what is said is true and it's indeed illegal for YouTube to show such prompts (and if that entity receives enough complaints), they might be forced to withdraw them (unless they're using some legal loophole already).
Revanced still works, not using it is just silly.
I’m able to play videos on my Samsung S9 with Firefox running with ublock. I never got a message.
I had this too, only thing that worked was clearing cookies and site data of YouTube, then logging in again. Another browser on the same account with the same uBlock settings worked the whole time, so I guess it's "device" bound not account bound. Since the cookie purge I don't even get the AdBlock warnings anymore.
same thing 14 hours ago..ublock tweak didn't help, only piped.kavin.rocks allowed playback
I'm unable to watch any video despite uBlock instructions thing.
Purge YouTube cookies and site data, log in again and see if it works
