          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.

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