    What could come of people clicking on the “Report issue” option and sending back tons of false reports claiming that they have gotten the pop-up message despite not using an ad-blocker?

    Get Firefox, install uBlock Origin, clear the filter cache, and reload the filter cache.

    Worked for me and my dad

    It is time to stop the Chrome plauge.

      It’s currently working, but every few days youtube will tweak something, and sometime later (minutes to hours) there will be an ublock update for it.

      Sometimes you have to wait a little longer, but this is the arms race.

    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.
