havent seen this popup on Youtube. currently using librewolf with ublock origin. maybe i'm not logged in.

An updated uBlock Origin will remove the popup

Like I said, I haven't encountered it yet.

[–] killeronthecorner 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, because of uBlock Origin

If you only use uBlock default blocking lists then it won't come up. If you use any other list, like Easylist or Adguard then it comes up immediately

I have NextDNS with Adguard and some up-to-date filters applied on it.
