I did the recommended stuff (resetting ublock, updating the filters and Restart). The ad popup about disabling adblock still opens up.

If you also use "Enhancer for YouTube" try disabling its adblocker.

Yes. I updated my uBlock Origin and it seems to skip through YouTube video ads for now. But I'm sure YouTube's team is hard at work trying to overcome the new workaround. This is essentially going to be a tech arms race, lol.

The good news is it probably costs Google 1000x in resources to come up with a solution than uBlock to get around it. Its a war they cannot truly win.
