Are any of these (firefox) extensions causing the 'Adblockers are not allowed on Youtube' message for you guys?

Figured I'd make a dedicated post this time instead of leaving it in a comment.

If more details are needed, please leave a comment and tell me.

I assume it's uBlock Origin. I have that and another one that I can't remember the name of, but it 'clicks ads' and you don't see them. I disabled uBO and left the other running. Worked fine for a few videos Sunday but Monday it was throwing the 'you can't use an ad blocker' again.

But I'd wager just about anything that affects YT on your end will throw that message at this point since they desperately want people to pay for premium or watch 3min of ads per 5min video.

AdNauseam, rly great tool for fighting invasive ads (since it doesn't click on "do not track"/privacy respecting banners)

Ah yeah that's it. I'd had no issues with it, but I bet it's getting flagged on YT even though they're getting those sought after clicks and such. Cause I'd never click on an ad of my own choice.
