"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!

God damn, please remove these pesky ?utm_ parameters from your links. They make your links unnecessarily long and your comment becomes pretty annoying to read. You don't even have to do it yourself, just click on "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" in Firefox. Make it a habit to always use this option. If you don't want to deal with it at all, install the ClearURLs addon or enable the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list in uBlock Origin.

Those URLs came from about:addons. I think it's important to provide as much provenance as I can to help people get programs, so I didn't edit the URL Firefox provided to me.

You can still use Right-click -> Copy Link Without Site Tracking

It's a built-in feature that was added in Firefox 119 and it removes all kinds of nasty, unnecessary stuff in URLs. 80% of your comment consists of long URLs and you didn't use new lines so it's hard to see where the first link ends and the second one begins.
