Krasnol·

I'm using ublock Origin and have never seen any of those.

For those with ubO who still see them, cleaning the cache and updating the filters within ubO seems to help.

I am using ubO too, I just purged the cache and updated the filters, still experiencing the same issue. Maybe YT is still testing this and haven't rolled out the blocking on everyone just yet?

Go on the unlock origin reddit, they have clear instructions for getting it working.

Basically disable all current ad blockers, including YouTube enhancer ad blocker, reset filters to default, make sure there's no cosmetic filters either. And it should work L.

with ubO you can tell it to remove elements from a page permanently (every time it's loaded).

I just used the picker, removed the elements, saved it, and haven't looked back.

I also did this with the stack overflow nag.

Yeah I did this too, but my use case is ordered playlists of songs, and now every video pauses itself after a few seconds.

Gonna try the ublock reset as outlined above, failing that I'll test uMatrix to turn off / lobotomise specific scripts.

I've yet to encounter these also. I've assumed it's just been luck with the A/B testing.. But perhaps it could also be that I've never allowed doubleclick.net scripts to run in NoScript, or that my ublock-origin setup has taken care of itself, or that because I've actually participated in youtube's other non-premium monetization schemes (channel memberships) from which they take a 30% cut and they want to upset somewhat paying users last.
