Oh I just “remove element permanently” on U-Block origin.
Make sure to remove the invisible element too that covers the whole screen. They tried that to prevent ya from just opening the video anyway.
To deactivate the scrollblock, if you experience it,just go full screen once and go back out. Which can be easily automated via a macro or literally just pressing the F key twice.
YouTube’s attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic
I’m not going to faff with all that until gray jay stops working
You know what, valid. I’m just listing the solution I used. I’ll make sure to check out Grayjay too.
This is the also the reason why Google is guaranteed to fail in their efforts. If one way to bypass their crap fails, 3 others will be developed swiftly <3

An app that lets you watch stuff from youtube, twitch, patreon, odyssey and more while respecting your privacy and having a better UI than any other streaming app.
Pihole has still been working reliably as well
Not for me 🤔 I am running PiHole and the adblock thing still shows up. Which blocklists are you using?
Is it really that easy? Why did they even bother?
They’ve known about ad blockers for well over decade now and their “solution” can be bypassed with inspect-element. Nice.
It is, in fact, not that easy. It works to hide the warning, but once you reache the stage where they block videos, it won’t help you.
The better option is to block all scripts on YouTube and only whitelist the 2 or 3 that are necessary to watch videos.
uBlock Origin has got to be the best extension out there right now. Saving me so much time
uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock saving days of my lifetime and DarkReader saving my eyes.
Life is good
Should be possible to block uid by removing cookies from request (with some extension) which means google will have even less context for requests and even less chances to target an advertisement due to no data to add to profile.
