Are any of these (firefox) extensions causing the 'Adblockers are not allowed on Youtube' message for you guys? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

ClearURLsDisabling this extension did not remove the popup, but here's my settings anyways:

Adblocking on YouTube is an uphill battle, especially on mobile.

Sign up for a VPN trial, set it to a random country. I think I used Argentina or something. Sign up for YT premium, the prices will shock you. I pay ~2$ US a month for a family subscription.

Turn off your VPN, and enjoy YT premium on the cheap, in your native country.

    Sure but I'm doing this out of spite at this point. I literally use Firefox as my youtube client because I can't use ReVanced (patches required a rooted phone which would block my access to some banking apps)

    I'm unrooted and I use revanced manager to patch YT and didn't notice anything about needing root. I use the change package name patch so I can have the official YouTube app installed side by side with the revanced version since Chromecasting only works for me in the official app.

    ahhh the reason i can't is because my youtube app is a split APK which does require rooting 🫠

    At least on Android you have NewPipe, which is an easy to install alternative Frontend for YouTube, or YouTube ReVanced, which applies multiple Patches to the original YouTube-App in order to make it more useable, however sometime the patching process causes trouble.

    I'm currently using Revanced and it still works like a charm and completly adfree.

    2$ a month is honestly very worth be not having to deal with sideloading and any of that, and having it be Ad-free on all my devices including my Apple TV is very worth the price. Also I can share it with 9 people
