"YouTube does not permit ad blockers" I click on the 'X' then start the video successfully. Using Brave browser with AdGuard version 4.2.189. I guess YouTube coders finally caught AdGuard's behavior!
Same. On Chrome.
One simple workaround on the Chrome desktop browser is to delete the overlay:
- Right-click on the popup, and choose Inspect Element.
- Find the
<tp-yt-paper-dialog>element. Right-click on it and select Delete Element.
(For opening Inspect Element on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari: https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-inspect-element)
This won't work with Auto-play, so you have to do it anytime a new video starts playing.

Thank you for reporting this! We're aware of the issue and are working on a solution. Please wait for the latest update, which is coming soon.
Meanwhile we'd like to investigate exactly how this feature works. As far as we know, not all users have experienced this issue, since Youtube may be experimenting with different groups of users.
We'd like to know which countries have been affected and would appreciate if you share the location chosen in your google account. You can share it by sending us an email at [email protected], mentioning the issue. Thank you in advance!
It's not mandatory and won't be used for anything other than investigating the issue
USA. Have never seen it before until now.
I just found a base "Fixed" for it. go adguard settings and click in "filter" -> "adblock"; turn off "adblock" -> go refresh youtube until it wont show that annoying window; then go back and turn on "adblock" again. then you might be fine to watch youtube with clean in about 1day, cause seems it will track you again when a day is pass.
at less I could keep fix it like that and wait until it actually be fixed.
this advice works for me https://www.reddit.com/r/Adguard/comments/1743bny/comment/k4ybmv0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

it doesn't work after playing a few videos.
From what I've seen there are different variations of the ad block blocker. They might limit you to 3 videos. They might add a dark overlay behind the pop up. They might disable vertical scrolling.
I have not experienced the 3 videos limit so I'm unsure how to advice on circumventing that but the rest seems to be pretty easy to bypass using user rules, by attempting to block the pop up using Block similar but also by removing the .style-scope so the page doesn't break.
In my case I had a pop up and my scroll bar wasn't allowed to function without jittering so I added this user rule: youtube.com##.no-y-scroll, .no-y-overflow, .ytd-popup-container
Note that this won't be a permanent fix as they keep changing the variation of their solution.
I have seen all of the above ad block blockers in the following order.
- A pop-up on top of dark overlay saying "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service", which doesn't let click close(x) button for 5 seconds then would let me close and enjoy the video for a while (I don't know how long). Play button on my keyboard let me play the video, even with this pop-up fired up. I used user rules that i found on reddit to block these and had no trouble for some time whatsoever.
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)
After that it stopped working then i used the following
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container
youtube.com##tp-yt-iron-overlay-backdrop
- Then scrolling stopped working. Simply putting video in fullscreen mode and back, removed this behaviour.
- A warning saying that I have 3-video limit, which doesn't reset at all. You have only 3-video limit.
- Youtube blocked me viewing the videos at all. Now, only way for me to see the player, disabling the adguard or any adblocker. The whole video player area is giving the warning i mentioned in first one, and there is no close button whatsoever.
I have 2 accounts based on different countries, I got the same warning but on different days. I guess YouTube is just rolling out these slowly, but surely.
I just noticed that including .ytd-popup-container in the rule was a mistake as that class name handles all pop-ups, even necessary ones like your playlist list when saving a video, not just the ad block blocker pop-up. I have removed it from the rule and will figure out what class I need to block instead when I get the pop-up again.
Navigate to YouTube then LOG OUT! You can watch all you want with no ads and no warning. It seems that Google thinks the only people who watch YouTube are Google users/ That's mostly true, but they didn't put up the blocker detector for NON-Google users. It's probably an oversight, and they'll fix it soon, but for now... ENJOY!

in case it helps the dev team, the folks over at uBlockOrigin have some sort of script that seems to work.

I only ever get this other variation of the block:
It goes away when I disable AdGuard for the site. If I enable it back, sometimes it works for a while. It's hit or miss.
Here the same in Germany with Mac Safari. 1 Week it was possible to close the overlay. Now the whole site is black with the same text (not more an overlay popup), like in the Window. Reload dont help more, like before.

you might enabled proxy in adguard before
My latest solution when a video is blocked is to copy the URL and open it in an incognito window. It always plays. Will keep doing this until a fix is out.
a fix is already out for days...https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/releases/tag/v4.2.208-beta

The beta doesn't frickin' work - even with the beta version installed, I cannot watch YouTube with AdGuard turned on.
UPD. Nevermind, it was me being stupid - I didn't disable "baseline" AdGuard extension before installing the beta.
I just watched, logged in, and no warning, no ads... Interesting...

Hey guys,I just found that if enable"hide your User-Agent" with "Chrome" or "Microsoft Edge" ,and reopen your browser,that problem will soon gone!
This is happening to EVERY video I want to watch on YouTube today. I will try some of these suggestions. I am on macOS Sonoma 14.0 and Safari.

Version 4.2.209 as browser extension, looks like this outdated and doesnt work. At least in my setup
Using an incognito window will be no problem. However, with the usual window, there is still no fix. Even if you sign out, delete all YouTube cookies,... It is also not possible to refresh 3 video views before forcing the user to disable the ad blocker in the video player. This may be a hint, there is something at the incognito window that has prevented Youtube from catching the ad blocker.
