I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven't seen it once.

I use Adblock Plus on my desktop, and I have not had the message yet.

I recommend Ublock Origin over Adblock Plus with Adblock Plus whitelisting some ads.

Are you talking about the option you can untick in the settings?

Generally I'm going to opt for the ad blocker that doesn't whitelist by default, and Ublock Origin is often recommended over Adblock Plus. I haven't seen a reason to use Adblock Plus over Ublock Origin.

It's one recommended by privacyguides, and if you use Firefox on Android also available to use there.
