YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated

[RandomWAN]

Blocking the element - stopped working for me - so just copy url and watch it on Brave unsigned in - I'll wait for an industrial strength solution - and not random peoples scripts here and there

Hopefully means Chrome suffers as well as others move to other Browsers

I just here horror stories how many adverts - I mean if low advert , cheap sub - I could go with that - max 1 30 second advert only at beginning-

Funny check youtube music - still have not seen any adverts

Also if you run video in background in mute - then go to "rewatch" do you get new adverts ??

This was working in Brave as of last night:

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Another option is viewing videos with the YouTube mobile site in Brave (at least on mobile devices.) This has the added benefit of allowing you to navigate away or shut off your screen and continue to listen in the case of long format videos that are more podcast-like.

Edit: That code is still working for me.
