And I just followed instructions on this page
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/19976
And it fixed it
Definitely not blocking here.. but.. I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube's T&C's or EU law?

Grayjay is the best all in all app for Android and Invidious Cross Platform. It syncs everything.
Love the Ficsit mug in the photo 😆
I just use the Vivaldi Browser and watch all my YouTube in browser. shrug
Until yesterday I was blocked from youtube, despite using UBO. Today it works. I don't know if it is random or if UBO does something. Possibly it will stop working again. In any case I started using piped (hope they don't decide to do something with it).
UBO updates their filters when they can, as they find and fix changes.
Youtube directly responds to those patches by updating their system. Last I checked, they do this twice a day.
Any time your UBO isnt stopping youtube, you are using filters from before youtubes last update. Opening your UBO settings, clearing and updating your filters, and refreshing your browser fixes this.
The only time it doesnt is if UBO hasnt patched youtubes most recent changes. This window of time is teeeny tiny.
Google chrome U block user here. Still works fine
It has? 🤔
Just checked for myself and I'm not getting any popups, but perhaps it just hasn't quite hit my region yet?

there was an attempt
I only use Firefox for youtube and nothing else... it still just works the same as ever - the only ads I see are the ones the creators make themselves for sponsors. I only use Chromium-based browsers for anything that has nothing to do with google...

Not on my PC
I’ll just use an ad blocker-blocker
uBlock Origin has that feature built in
