oh, I’ve been using Chameleon, it does the same thing and even automatically change the user agent after a custom interval of time from a list you chose, but it kinda breaks the Youtube video UI if the browser is set to anything other than FF though.
And I also just got that pop-up today in LibreWolf and was eventually blocked. But on Firefox, nothing happens. I have 3 adblocking related extesions: UBO, Privacy Badger and Malwarebytes. Turns out it was Malwarebytes that triggered it. Whitelisting Youtube doesn’t work, I had to straight up disable the extension. It seems it’s not just ads and scams that Youtube want us to see, they want us to get malwares and viruses too.
You don’t need Privacy Badger when you use UO, since that can block trackers too ( only if you enable filterlists ), as for Malwarebytes that too is redundant with UO, ( matter of fact it makes them both perform poorly ) = Get rid of MalwareBytes
Ads can be scams, and they can take you to websites that automatically download malware to your computer, ( that’s why I disable automatic downloads ), they get filtered out with all other scam and shady websites, So yes by asking you to disable your adblocker Google shows they don’t care about your security.
Another workaround is to go to settings > privacy & Security > Manage Cookies & Site data > Click on YouTube .com > Click remove selected > Save Changes. ( this should work even if you’re logged in to YT and it won’t log you out ) ( although adblockers are against their Tos now so don’t risk your account )

I’ve already tried removing YouTube cookies, it didn’t work. For some reason, disabling Malwarebytes removes the block
