I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven’t seen it once.

    ReVanced and Newpipe on mobile, SmartTube on TV, uBlock origin on Vivaldi and LibreWolf (currently in the middle of switching).

    Seen nothing on any of those. They’re all working flawlessly, for now.

    I don’t even use browser to watch youtube vids anymore. Freetube -> mpv with sponsorblock plugin.

    OP do you perhaps use a non-Chromium based browser? Because their adblock blocking is only active on Chromium based browsers.

      I recommend Ublock Origin over Adblock Plus with Adblock Plus whitelisting some ads.

          Generally I’m going to opt for the ad blocker that doesn’t whitelist by default, and Ublock Origin is often recommended over Adblock Plus. I haven’t seen a reason to use Adblock Plus over Ublock Origin.

          It’s one recommended by privacyguides, and if you use Firefox on Android also available to use there.
