I suggest a remote debugging if possible.

I suggest a remote debugging if possible.

How is that possible ? , I'm OK if it helps

[BlazDT]

Could you please post screenshot of filtering log, thank you.

We have these two filters in our Base filter which should have taken care of adblock message though:

youtube.com#%#//scriptlet('json-prune', 'auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel')
youtube.com#%#//scriptlet('set-constant', 'ytInitialPlayerResponse.auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel', 'undefined')

EDIT: Could you please test this rule if above rules are not working (found something in code with onerror and that url): @@||googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/id$domain=youtube.com

[chromer030]

It seems that with @@||googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/id$domain=youtube.com the annouyance no anymore shown , i keep monitoring and report if reappeared.

[BlazDT]

I did not see any ads with that exclusion rule. BTW is this only occuring on live videos or on normal ones too?

[chromer030]

Currently only on videos that its channel is monitized , and after about watching 3 monitized videos :

Page source of channel : {"key":"is_monetization_enabled","value":"true"}

[BlazDT]

Thanks for the info, found one https://www.youtube.com/@HeyLetsLearnSomething - but not triggering adblock warning here :( Would be nice if you could report back in a few hours or tomorrow if you have seen that adblock message again.

[chromer030]

It's obvious that there is no specific mechanism for this annouyance for now and it's quite random , under heaby a/b tests. for specific group of users.

I tried chromium browser without account login , on same OS and IP , but no any annouyance even after watching tens of videos.

[Yuki2718]

@chromer030 Please test these:

youtubekids.com,youtube-nocookie.com,youtube.com#@%#//scriptlet('json-prune', '0.playerResponse.adPlacements 0.playerResponse.playerAds')
youtubekids.com,youtube-nocookie.com,youtube.com#@%#//scriptlet('json-prune', 'playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.playerAds adPlacements playerAds', 'playerConfig')
youtubekids.com,youtube-nocookie.com,youtube.com#%#//scriptlet('json-prune', 'playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.playerAds adPlacements playerAds', 'playerConfig.audioConfig')
youtubekids.com,youtube-nocookie.com,youtube.com#%#//scriptlet('set-constant', 'ytInitialPlayerResponse.auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.bkaEnforcementMessageViewModel', 'undefined')

[chromer030]

Well, after tests for now i dont see the warning anymore.

[chromer030]

@BlazDT @Yuki2718

It's back with a severe warning !

And it's quite serious :

[chromer030]

Ublock Origin full Log on this warning :

Log.txt

[chromer030]

Due to severe blockage and impossible to watch any video i opened a new issue : https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/157291

[Yuki2718]

@chromer030 Force-update filter lists, it was fixed 3 hours ago on uBO.
