Anyone like me who haven't even seen this ad block warning?
Still nothing. Firefox with ublock origin and ghostery running in parallel.
On my phone I'm using newpipe, on my tv smart tube next, so those are clean by default.
It's been hit-or-miss for me (Firefox w/ uBlock). It seems like Google's pushing updates at irregular intervals. Clearing the uBlock cache and forcing an update usually does the trick for me, though. I'm guessing they'll burn the volunteers out eventually, though.
Clearing the catche and forcing an update seems to work but I'm not sure it actually does anything. I think they're just slowly ramping up the frequency of that pop up. For me atleast it has just been getting worse and worse despite all my efforts.
Yeah, updating it only does something if the uBlock team pushed an update that addresses Google's recent push. I've been lucky so far where I've only ever had to update after they released an update, but you can get unlucky and have to wait for an update.
I started seeing it on my work computer that's vpn'ed into another part of the country, while logged into my work Gmail (which has no real history).
I'm not seeing it on my personal computer, which is logged into my personal Gmail.
Both are using ublock.
I think the rollout is very selective.
Everyone I know who has gotten it is outside of the US so far.
I haven't but I can make it appear by turning on the Block ads feature in YouTube Enhancer (so no one can tell me it's "slow rollout"). So far Filterlist devs are doing a great job at blocking them, just like they always have on every website that is commonly used and isn't a malware or scam site (not great examples of Anti-adblock sucess since they're usually added to malware filters once detected).
Never seen it at all.. I presume it's only some users currently.
