Someone in the Fediverse (I don’t know where and who) posted that you have to add the following filters into U-Block Origin.
When done you shouldn’t see any anti-adblock-warnings :
Thank you! I was aware of Invideous and I tried that in the past. However, Invideous-redirected videos always seemed to be slow, then disconnected or I experienced buffering.
I’ll give the firefox extension for libdirect a try. I tested it and it seems to work flawlessly.
They’re not just hiding the warning popup, they’re updating the Javascript for the variables that trigger them. We’re temporarily blocked from content if we continue to leave our adblocker on, which is why:
The first one disables the warning popup’s trigger (view is false)
the second tells YT there are no adblockers (blocks found 0)
the third defines an array of where ads are placed in the video (at the following timestamps: …aka nowhere)
the fourth tells YT that instream ads have been allowed
These are the js variables that YT is using to tell if you’re using an adblocker in the first place. When Youtube tells us we have to disable our adblocker or it will block us, we just put on Marx glasses and tell them we did.
Youtube’s method will still work on the majority of adblocker users that just use the addon without customising it (or updating it for public filters), so it will work for them. But it doesn’t have to work on us.
Nice! Im gonna throw these in. I havent had any warnings yet either but the experience of using the official YT site/app without some kind of blocker is horrendous.

I might add that I haven’t experienced any anti-adblock-warnings yet, but I added these filters in advance. I might be worth a shot!
Also or just use a front-end like as Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) or Invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious)
A handy externsion of FIrefox wil automatically redirects you, see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

I’m sure it hides the warnings, but it certainly doesn’t prevent you from being blocked…
