I just refresh the page and it works fine
Firefox + uBlock Origin or Grayjay are my go to.
I got this with Firefox + uBlock Origin yesterday but was gone a couple videos later, uBlock must have updated.
I've been using Firefox With Ublock Origin (and YouTube ReVanced for mobile) for years, and have yet to see this message outside of a screenshot.
Others have already weighed in, but:
This warning doesn't seem to be persistent. Using ublock/regularly clearing cookies seems to keep this at bay. Sometimes it helps to open new links in container tabs as well.
I got this earlier this week and clearing my cookies/using container tabs seems to reset it.
Incognito mode works, but you can't see the history
Use a front-end like Piped or Invidious and be happy.
Negative comments and dislikes incoming in 3, 2, 1...
Why do you think you'll be downvoted for that? I see people recommend them literally all the time on similar posts
Firstly. People don't like Piped or Invidious because they often gets broken due to Google's work to try shut them down completely.
Invidious is basically all broken already because of this. And it can be hard to find a good Piped instance that works.
I have Piped installed on my server and it happens that I get "login to prove you're not a bot" or what the error message is.
And secondly. People tend to be very mean online and I don't trust any people until they have proven they are indeed nice and not mean in any way (like judging or trolling).
Lastly. I am in a very bad mood which boosting the second reason.
Ah alright that makes sense. (Also just to make sure, wasn't meaning any like rudeness in my reply, im autistic so if I did sorry)
You were not rude to me. You asked a simple question, that's it :) I'm autistic too.
Yep. Got this yesterday (UK).
I had a couple of adverts make it through yesterday in the UK, just closed the tab and went to some locally hosted content instead. Seems like its working again today. I don't log into youtube at all.
I got one 2 days ago, refreshed and it went away (FireDragon with ublock)
It actually pushed me further, I now browse Youtube logged out and disabled every piece of tracking i could find
Doesn't YouTube premium still have ads?
