So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the "x" and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the "Report issue" only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

Their detection script is probably trying so hard that it hits false positives.

Ironically, with an up-to-date uBlock Origin, you wouldn't see this popup.

Are you sure? Or is it because you're not in the test group?

I'm on nightly/up to date ublock and i see it.

Did you update your filters?

I had the pop-up today, updated my filters then reloaded the page, and the warning was gone.
