This is unfortunate and alarming: it seems that after a long period of having no issues, YouTube is flagging me for using Fadblock, even after ensuring all other browser addons are disabled. Could there be some other cause of this problem? Unfortunately I can't simply switch to Chrome, and I'm afraid of even testing on Chrome lest I reach strike three on my YouTube account. I'm really not sure what to do at this point other than begrudgingly play for premium, having been bullied into it.

You should not pay for anything if you don't want to. Setting that aside, the YT adblocker detection script can't find FadBlock, especially over Firefox in any way (ref:res-block-attack@0x48piraj) as it does not block any ads, just does active DOM manipulation.

Mine was also being detected last night, with this being the only youtube / adblock related extension enabled. It seemed to work to block ads on a single video, but when i move to the next video it gives me the warning.

I am having the same issue on Firefox - exclusively using FadBlock as everything else started getting detected several weeks ago. This just started yesterday, but was having the occasional jump to the end glitch others mentioned, but could just go back to the start one time with no trouble

Look at your extensions. As of now, FadBlock still is not getting detected by YouTube. As @ArnoldP-200 told, that's a known issue and it's not a frequent glitch, only happens when the connection drops or the ad loads a bit later than expected.

Look at your extensions.

Not sure what you're getting at. You can clearly see in the screenshot that Fadblock is the only one enabled, and others are also saying that fadblock is the only extension enabled and yet they're still getting detected.

I'm experiencing the same thing, I guess it needs to be updated or something?

I don't have any Ad Blockers on at all. And yet I'm getting flags, not even FadBlock is active.
