How can i get rid of an annoying pop-up message that appears each time i use Youtube?

[xsantosis]

The explanation is that I am still using the old design of Youtube because I really dislike the newest look and it even causes me certain issues in some videos by not playing them at all, so these are the reasons of why I´ve choosen keep using the old Youtube design.

Well, the issue is that since a few weeks ago, I´ve start getting an annoying pop-up message when I visit any of the sections of the Youtube page, an annoying message asking me to swap to the new design, see this screenshot for more info:

I will not going to swap to the new YT design because it gives me issues so will stand with the old design as long as I can. Since the old design seems to keep working pretty fine (for me at least), I was looking for a method like a script/tool I could install in my web browser, so each time I use Youtube, this bloody pop-up message wiill not appear anymore.

Web browsers I use: Opera and Chrome.

This is the console element that appears when I inspect the pop-up message:


<div class="alerts-wrapper">
<div id="alerts" class="content-alignment">
<div class="yt-alert yt-alert-default yt-alert-info " id="old-browser-alert">
<div class="yt-alert-icon">
<span class="icon master-sprite yt-sprite"></span>
</div>
<div class="yt-alert-content" role="alert">
<div class="yt-alert-message" tabindex="0">
"
This design of YouTube will soon stop being available. "
<a href="/new">Change to the new design of YouTube</a>
</div>
</div>
</div><div class="yt-alert-buttons"></div></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>


Here is a screenshot from the console element:

NOTE: If this is not the correct place, anyone have a remote idea where I could get help on this subject, which forums should I use to get help with this kind of stuff?

Have you tried enabling the inbuilt op-up blocker on your browser? Consider updating your YT to the current build, I guess its not as bad as you remember

I used ABP for years, however, I switched to uBlock origin and it does a far better job especially on youtube.
