    Somehow I’ve been fine? Is my setup the chosen one or it just hasn’t come down to me/my region yet?

      It’s sent out in waves.

      First escalation, you just a warning with an “X” that you can close.

      Second escalation, you will be the same warning but without the “X”. You can of course just block the element.

      Third escalation, you get the “3 videos” message. After this, YouTube no longer serves you videos. You can get around this by logging out and using incognito mode on Firefox. There are other ways too if you go browse some ublock origin communities.

        I’ve been wondering about that too, after seeing this post I watched a 10+ minutes video and it was fine, but I’m not… on an average setup.

        So for the moment I’m just going to suppose it’s not active for me yet. Thanks.

        I don’t log in when I watch YouTube on Firefox. It remembers your watched videos anyways so why bother? I can’t leave comments or like anything, but “oh no”

        I wonder if that’s why I haven’t seen any about using ublock.

          Do you know if there’s a way to be logged into gmail (haven’t been able to extract myself from google yet) and logged out of youtube while on firefox? I thought they’d be separate but I tried logging out of yt and found my gmail had been logged out as well.

          I’ve just been using private windows recently but I figure FF probably has the capability to keep your log in instances between tabs separate if you tell it to, I just don’t know how.

            I haven’t gotten away from Gmail yet either.
            I use a email app for that. My Firefox just hasn’t ever seen me log into anything Google, so it doesn’t even try when I visit YouTube. I don’t even use private windows for YouTube.
