This is a big reason Google wanted to push the whole “web integrity” thing. There would have been no way to use an adblocker after that and they would have won the blocking wars. It’s bad enough they’re gimping Chromium with Manifest v3, but they tried for it all.
Welp They are still cooking it, for now only on android as to boil the frog slowly but it will come back.
Wait what are they doing on Android?
Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads
I actually had to get rid of adnauseam because YT detected it pretty consistently, ublock origin as of this comment still works fine on YT though.
A miniscule amount of tomfoolery
uBO + iFrame script + Clickbait Remover + YouTube NonStop, the only way to clean up the YT crap and don’t want to or can use a front-end or desktop client.
Great suggestions.
I’d strongly recommend Dearrow instead of Clickbait remover now (I used to use Clickbait).
It’s made by the same developer who made Sponsorblock, which I also strongly recommend (it skips over in-video sponsors, title sequences, non-music sections in music videos, etc.). Just remember to turn it off for channels whom you wish to support.

I noticed that the Behind The Overlay extension in Firefox can also defeat the YouTube ad blocker pop up.
