It seems the rollout for the YouTube crackdown on ad-blockers is today, at least in Latin America. Have any other regions affected? They still let you close this warning, but I wager that's not for long.
Try out yt-dlp: <a href="https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp">https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp</a><p>Downloads, without ads, the videos. The only ads that remain are those that the creators insert themselves when creating the video.
Youtube's been acting weird on my end of late. I don't sign in, but allow cookies for YT to recommend me vids. Couple days ago I accidentally opened a YT vid while VPN on browser was on. Ever since then YT stopped recommending vids other than the most popular default ones that I believe YT shows everyone until their recommendation engine catches up with one's interests.
