I use uBlock Origin and youtube appears to still be fine for me. Maybe Google is targeting AdBlock first and then they'll start trying to detect others maybe? I guess this all depends if they're actually indeed penalizing people for blocking ads in the first place.

i use uBlock Origin.

and eff's privacy badger

and tampermonkey w/ anti-adblock killer reek script.

zero issues playing youtube all day long

huh, interesting. i am using ublock origin (on chrome) and was getting this error earlier. shift+f5 didn't fix it. turned off ublock origin as a test and the video played.

perhaps i'm flagged some other way on the backend and it then tries a test for ad block?
