NO! If I turned it off, that would defeat the entire purpose of adblocker! Fuck off.

Sorry, but the times that I've been infected with malware due to an ad has removed all goodwill towards any online ads. I know a lot of these sites depend on ads to keep the lights on, but I'm not taking any chances anymore.

What blocker/browser are you using? You shouldn't be getting a warning at all.

It literally told me that video would have problems if I don't disable ad blocker. I'm using Firefox and ad blocker plus

I have that as well. Should I use that and disable ad block plus on Youtube?

Yep. Adblock Plus has been compromised for a while now. Ublock Origin like Monferno said.

I also use Privacy Badger, not sure how much it helps.

Firefox, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger. Tell Orivacy Badger to block any domain with youtube in the name. If you ever get a popup, go to UBO settings and purge cache / update all filters. If this doesnt work, wait about 30 minutes and do it again. Repeat until you stop getting popups. Then you shouldnt get one for 2 or 3 months at the least.

For Android, install ReVanced Manager, then use that to install ReVanced Extended (they also have ReVanced versions of Spotify, Twitch, YouTube Music, etc., if youre so inclined, but at least with the Twitch one I had some audio issues after it worked fine for months and I havent tried the other two).

If you have an Android TV device like the Shield Pro, nstall SmartTubeNext.

For iOS, install Altstore, then find an alternative. I havent done this yet as I dont really want to watch on my iPad anyway.

There's no reason to use revanced, all the firefox stuff worst just as well as it does on pc.
Revanced is chromium based is it's much easier for youtube to mess with its effectiveness.

There's stuff for ublock that's pretty effective, I forget what it's called so just search for "block twitch ads with ublock" and look for the github link.

Yes there is, as ReVanced gives you YouTube Premium without paying for it and lets you listen to stuff with your phone in your pocket and the screen turned off. Plus watching anything in a mobile browser is a worse experience than ReVanced Extended. Havent had a single problem with it since I started using it, and it has Sponsorblock to boot.

Eh they tend to pop up any time any time people speak positively of Adblock.

Pun intended.

TLDR: Please consider using an open source youtube app instead of hacking the official app using revanced. Proper open source app is generally safer, both security and privacy-wise.

You can install an open source youtube client like Tubular which includes SponsorBlock and ReturnYoutubeDislike. Go here for screenshot video and download:
https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular

Revanced works by patching / hacking the official apps. It's a convenient and lazy method but keep in mind that such user practice works by circumventing your phone's own security measure which is signature checking. It's not a good user practice.

The patches themselves are open source but the target apps are closed source. Because the patch author doesn't have access to target apps' source code and has to rely on reverse engineering; the patches might introduce unwanted vulnerability as a side effect. Please use a properly written open source app if you can.

When you think about it, depending on ads is the weakest possible business plan. Your scheme is to show people something they want to see, but occasionally interrupt/distract them with something they definitely don't want to see, so that somebody else can try to take their money.

Does it have a patch to have Youtube remember your resolution? That's the only reason I don't like the stock Youtube app.
