    Never updated or purged ublock origin. Never got the popup. Is this only regional thing or Firefox built different.

      I may be wrong, but I think it has something to do with whether or not you had any custom filters enabled when youtube started cracking down on ad blockers. I also haven’t seen a popup yet, but I assumed it was because I’m too lazy to go beyond the vanilla UBO install.

        No, there’s an A/B implementation going on. The UBO maintainers hadn’t seen the crackdown themselves and had to rely on troubleshooting reports to see what is going on which is wild to think about - both on their skill but also did google specifically whitelist them or are they exceptionally lucky
