I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin and I have yet to see that popup

[–] DietBajaBlast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You will. I didn’t start getting it until three days ago.

I've been getting it off and on the last few days, oddly only on one PC still running 10 but everything else with FF/UO is up to date. Nothing on two 11 machines so far, with all signed in on the same google account.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't need to, I don't see any popup, I can watch videos on YouTube just fine without changing anything in uBlock Origin's settings or manually updating it.

Do it anyway if you want that to continue. It's generally a good practice anyways since filter updates are pushed regularly with old redundant strings removed and new filters added, for all sites, not just YouTube.

oh, guess i misread your comment, pardon me ^^'
