Oh I just "remove element permanently" on U-Block origin.

Make sure to remove the invisible element too that covers the whole screen. They tried that to prevent ya from just opening the video anyway.

To deactivate the scrollblock, if you experience it,just go full screen once and go back out. Which can be easily automated via a macro or literally just pressing the F key twice.

YouTube's attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

This was my gut reaction as well, but dont do this, the makers of uBlock Origin warn against it! https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/youtube/detection-faq/

Can't I just hide the pop-up with uBO's Picker?

No. Cosmetic filters don't stop the message - they just temporarily hide it from view. The anti-adblock script will continue to run in the background and will eventually block you from watching videos. Please don't use, share or recommend using any of those filters and don't report any issues when using them.
