    I got a popup “Adblockers are not allowed on YouTube” on Firefox running both Ublock Origin and Adblock, not signed in two days ago. I don’t know what to do with that information.

      In the UBlock plugin settings, click update cache. On mobile so CBA to give better instructions, but it will fix it

        I had a moment of mild panic two days ago when purging and updating the cache didn’t work. It turns out I got caught by it in the short interval after Youtube deployed the new attack but before the blocklist maintainers deployed a countermeasure, and it worked when I tried again an hour or so later. (Using Freetube instead of a browser worked in the meantime, BTW.)

        Bad idea, won’t help. Above commenter says they have adblock enabled alongside uBO- that needs to be fixed first. Adblock is tripping YouTube, not uBO

      both Ublock Origin and Adblock

      That’s the problem.
