I run firefox with uBlock Origin (default settings) and Privacy Possum

When first saw the popup I was able to click thru and refresh to get past it.

Then a few days later that stopped working.

So I moved to using FreeTube an open source desktop youtube client. That worked (still works)

Then I noticed on youtube.com, that I could get through again with a refresh or two.

So it appears they are experimenting with different techniques.

I tried FreeTube and though it seems to be a good program, there are features that I use in YT that aren't in FT. For instance, YT gives the user the ability to hide videos he/she doesn't want to see. FT doesn't. With just a few more tweaks then yes, FT could become a predominant alternative, until of course YT finds a way to block usage of it as well.

I created a second account and so far I've not gotten that popup, but then again, it hasn't appeared in recent days when I use my old account either. So yeah, YT is definitely experimenting, trying to find the best way to make our experience difficult.
