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.
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.
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.
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
