"Disable adblocker"-thing on YouTube is back (fedia.io)

Hey everyone,

since YouTube started annoying us with their “disable ad blocker” thing, I managed to get rid of it by uBlock Origin and a Tampermonkey script. Yet, the stupid popup is back. To everyone who's gotten rid of it until now: What did you do? Can you point me to the resources you used? It's annoying!

I set my user agent to the Google bot for youtube. It seems to work last time they pulled this shit. The only down side is that it forces desktop view if on mobile.

I haven't used it, but couldn't you use the mobile version of the useragent string?
