I'm still waiting for my "AdBlOcKeR bAd 😭" popup, at this point I'm actually disappointed it hasn't shown up yet.

I'm using ublock and firefox (on arch btw) if your curious

Yeah but the real question is, why the hell did you choose to look at the URL instead of the image itself?

It's not such a bad idea to be in the habit of looking at URLs before you click on them generally, FYI. But in this case it wasn't really a choice.

I use the same and got the popup yesterday

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Update uBlock, reset filters to default, block your extensions and see if that helped. If things started working gradually start enabling extensions and check if popup started showing.

You likely have an extension that blocks too much and allows YouTube to detect adblocker.

Same, but I figured out that on Plasma X11 they won't show up while on Plasma Wayland they do... (was it random?)

[-] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on Plasma Wayland and haven't seen the popup, yet

In my experience the popup comes up if and only if you have any custom blocking list enabled. Default uBlock filter lists are fine

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Not true. I reset all my ublock settings to default and disabled any other adblockers like they recommended and I still got the popup. I then decided to use invidious instead.

[-] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 2 points 1 year ago

weird, sticking with default lists fixed the issue for me and the moment I enabled any of the Easylist or Annoyances filters it come up again

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Alright I've disabled easylist but now I'm receiving annoying sponsored widgets on my home screen and side bars so I might as well disable my adblocker at that point.

I imagine, they stretch this out over a longer period, so no shitstorm forms...

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

I've been binging YouTube, preparing to disengage forever...

It's been weeks now. The popup still hasn't come up

[-] XpeeN@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I wanted to say the same but then remembered I'm using piped for a while now lol
