What ad blocker are you using? I'm using ublock origin and I still haven't seen the ad blocker blocker thing on anything.

@Fosheze
I use PiHole at home for sytem wide blocking and Vivaldi as my main browser.

I get the adblocker blocker on my main google account, but I have a couple of others for hobbies and I have not seen the blocker there.

Pi-Hole can't block YouTube ads. Use LibreWolf with uBlock Origin, it works like a dream. Or try alternative frontends for YouTube like Invidious or Piped. These are even better when combined with LibRedirect, it automatically redirects all YouTube links to your preferred alternative frontend.

Even though Pi hole doesn't block youtube ads, that's probably what is triggering the ad blocker blocker. Unfortunately I don't know a way around that but I'm sure someone in one of the pihole communities has figured it out.

Vivaldi looks like it supports extensions. Try out UBlock Origin for it. I use that add-on and a PiHole and have had no issues.
