Seems like it's controlled test in different countries and segments. I (Europe) get this popup in Firefox, I also use pi-hole DNS and ublock origin.

Dies your PiHole block Youtube ads?
It does not. It can only block domains. Youtube ads use same domain as actual videos.
Thanks, I thought so.
It doesn't because it can't the ads and videos are on the same domain now
Thanks, I thought so.
Also Europe here, using ublock and firefox, and I don't get that popup.
As long as we have the physical capability of pointing a camera at a display, people will control what they see. Worst case scenario in these browser wars, you run Chrome on a Google certified device then stream the output of that device to the computer you're actually using, using various filters and vision recognition removing the advertisement from your video stream.
This is extreme, it's a little crazy, but I think everyone can agree it's technically feasible. This means we will always have the edge in the browser wars. If we control the display, we control the flow.
Everything else is just an optimization
It's fundamentally impossible to grant read access without copy. And you can always do whatever you want to your copy.
Otherwise, piracy wouldn't be a thing.
How does YouTube know whether I'm blocking or not if it all happens at the client side?

Put a few blocks of information encoded in the video of the ad itself. Require that block of information as a key to watch the next video on Youtube.
Interesting. But it probably only takes less than a few seconds for a program to scan a 30s video file and extract that bit of information.
