Figured I’d make a dedicated post this time instead of leaving it in a comment.

If more details are needed, please leave a comment and tell me.

Disabling this extension did not remove the popup, but here’s my settings anyways:

Return Youtube Dislike

Removing this one did initially seem to work yesterday, but today it isn’t.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

Removing this did not work, but this extension has caused adblocker-blockers to yell at me before.

    Adblocking on YouTube is an uphill battle, especially on mobile.

    Sign up for a VPN trial, set it to a random country. I think I used Argentina or something. Sign up for YT premium, the prices will shock you. I pay ~2$ US a month for a family subscription.

    Turn off your VPN, and enjoy YT premium on the cheap, in your native country.

      At least on Android you have NewPipe, which is an easy to install alternative Frontend for YouTube, or YouTube ReVanced, which applies multiple Patches to the original YouTube-App in order to make it more useable, however sometime the patching process causes trouble.

      I’m currently using Revanced and it still works like a charm and completly adfree.

        2$ a month is honestly very worth be not having to deal with sideloading and any of that, and having it be Ad-free on all my devices including my Apple TV is very worth the price. Also I can share it with 9 people

      I bought using turkey as the country and caught a year plan. Argentina for some reason stopped accepting my credit card.
