    I installed it and did the setup and it worked great for many months. Then, in the last few days, something changed, though I made no changes to my browser or ublock. Today it works fine. Yesterday I was getting the nag. I didn’t make any changes from yesterday to today.

      Youtube did something recently and uBlock had to update in response. I think it was automatically rolled out sometime “last night.”

      I might be wrong but I think ad blocker warnings show up briefly after YouTube updates its detection methods. They vanish once filter lists catch up. It’s an ongoing cat-and-mouse game.

      To reduce these warnings, update your ad blocker’s filter lists or they’ll eventually they do so automatically.

      Update Filters: In uBlock Origin, open the dashboard, go to the “Filter lists” tab, and click “Update now.” Keeping uBlock itself updated helps too. Clearing cache can sometimes help. I think Firefox has better uBlock support, Chrome is toxic to adblocker integration.

      Some sites actively try to fight adblockers while adblockers try to block anti-adblocking code on such sites. Most probably you’re watching the process of upgrading anti-adblock scripts on such site.
