New Anti-Adblock on Youtube in Firefox

Post by DanielCoffey »

OS : Windows 11

About a week ago Youtube started throwing up a new Anti-Adblock screen at the beginning of a video that stopped playback. At the time you could easily click past it with the "X" in the top right corner. As of about yesterday they have updated it to make you wait with a beachball before you could click the "X" to close.

I was hoping that one of the existing filters dealt with this sort of issue but I don't know how often the filters are updated by their owners. All my Filters are refreshed and I have the following : ABP filters, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Notifications Blocking List, Fanboy's Social Blocking List, Allow nonintrusive advertising without third-party tracking.

Any ideas on how I can prevent this interruption please?
