You can check if the uBlock filters are "working" here:

(it just checks the YT anti-AB script ID against the UB anti-anti-AB script ID to see if it has been updated).

This isn't working for me on Firefox / uBlock and Ubuntu :(

I don't get the popup, but the video is just black and the play button does nothing.

Did you already hit their three strikes soft ban prior to updating the cache?

Possibly. I didn't know this was a thing!

What is it? Hard for anyone to tell without describing it.

I have mostly same configuration except I use Fedora.

Sometimes ublock doesn't work for me. I just open the video in a temporary container it works without any issues.

Have you tried this approach?

Thanks, this seems to work for me!

It's mostly affecting people that log into Youtube and don't block javascript from google. That's why there are so many people with conflicting anecdotes.

Brave browser works for me on both desktop and iPhone
