Same. I'm wondering if it's limited to certain markets for the time being.

    For me it's a "soft" popup - a simple banner with a close button telling me not to block ads. And it doesn't appear very often, I think I've seen it twice.

    You will get the timer one in due course.

    I first got the 'soft' banner, then it went to timer one (and this timer comes after watching 3 videos with 'soft' one.)

    However, uBlock still removes the banner, but you have to click on the video after a few seconds to start it. Alternately you can hit F to fullscreen the video, and the banner just goes away and the video starts (without uBlock).
