I'm just waiting for the day Youtube permanently blocks me from using an adblocker.

It's so kind of them to at least make me wait for 5 seconds to acknowledge that using an adblocker is illegal.

You're just accessing a publicly-available service with no authentication required on an open protocol using a designated tool for that purpose and deciding not to view (or possibly download) parts of it. I highly doubt it's illegal, but things are so strange these days, who knows for sure?

It's illegal? Under what laws I wonder?

I think they mean YouTube says in their anti-Adblock popup that it's against their terms of service.
