But it’s difficult to trust Piped and other 3rd parties with your login credentials. Especially for people who make a living on YouTube. Even if they themselves might be trustworthy, they can’t be perfectly secure, so it becomes added vulnerability.
wait what? piped doesn’t use your login in any way tho? you manually import subscriptions from Google checkout and you create a piped specific login for syncing that across devices. at no point will piped ever ask for your Google account
I saw them, then I purged ublocks cache and updated and they have been gone ever since (also on firefox, because I switched as soon as I read the news that they would pull this stunt on all chromium browsers a year ago).
I get there’s a heap of people on here who’ve somehow never seen these new anti-popup measures before, but they’re definitely becoming more prevalent.
I switched to uBlock and purged the caches and it seems to have fixed the issue (for now anyway)
At some point I’ll have to find a more permanent solution like switching browsers but right now things are working
a more permanent solution would be using an alternative front end like piped. there are a lot of public instances available

Ah, cool then.
Use clients such as LibreTube. It works great and even allows skipping sponsored content.
Do this daily.
I only had to do it once. Haven’t seen the pop up since.
Am I the only one that clears cookies, caches, and history on exit?
No. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

never seen the youtube anti-adblock stuff.
Mullvad vpn + mullvad browser + ublock origin + never logging into google…
Also freetube, also newpipe…
Maybe they don’t bother trying to block vpn users?
I use a VPN, and I saw the popup.
from what I’ve read incognito mode is still unaffected, but thats just rumors online
If you have a VPN just set your location to a place they don’t run ads
