Ublock orgins on Firefox has worked for me so far on both pc and mobile. No warnings.
I do also have umatrix on pc, but I can't really recommend it for everyone since it requires some setup on every web page which most people would find too annoying.
Even quicker fix: logout.
Admittedly i'm not a huge youtube watcher, but since logging out there's not a single damned nag when i run a marathon
Same. I use it in a dedicated Firefox container, so if I ever get a nag, I'll clear the cores all cookies in that container and I assume that'll reset whatever that is.
i dont log in, for the purposes of google gathering more data about you. and also i would get in the habit of commenting on videos, which i dont do anymore.
Previously I had the warnings until uBlock killed them. Only one has made it through in recent times, we'll see how things keep going.
if this happens to me I just won't watch youtube anymore. It's mostly garbage content anyway.
Ubo and ff mobile: I got the warning for the first time yesterday. Closed ff completely and it went back to normal. I also run pihole too, so maybe a mix of them together has kept my account 'safe' still. And I'm still yt freemium. FF mobile with desktop site enabled allows for audio play back with screen off btw.
Why are you censoring the word reddit? Is that a joke?
