Google's anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

Are you logged in? Cause if not you don't get these popups.

I haven't logged out since they started this push and I don't get them with just Firefox/uBlock. I was getting them for a bit and they even blocked me completely at one point. But I just cleared my uBlock cache and updated and it's been working fine.

Yes I am. I even got the pop-ups for a couple days a week ago, but I just closed the pop ups and resumed the videos with no ads

I got those popups while not even being logged in at some points, but just purging the cache on uBlock filters seems to work.
