The intrusive "Ad blocker are not allowed on YouTube" message is annoying. This open-source project aims to address this issue by providing a solution to bypass YouTube's ad blocker detection

Remove the Adblock Popup from YOUTUBE

Introduction

This repository contains a userscript designed to remove the annoying "Ad blocker is not allowed on Youtube" popup. Follow the instructions below to get started. We also have an undetected way of skipping ads if you get blocked from the video player.

Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey: If you haven't already, you need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension. You can find it for various browsers:

   • Tampermonkey for Chrome
   • Tampermonkey for Firefox
   • Tampermonkey for Edge
   • Tampermonkey for Opera/OperaGX

2. Install the Script: Click Here and Press Install.

3. Enable the Script: Enable the script by clicking the switch next to the script name in the Tampermonkey Dashboard.

4. Disable your adblocker: Whitelist YouTube on any Chrome extensions that block ads or any third-party things that disable ads. Don't worry; our script removes ads on YouTube.

Note: This also allows you to watch videos when your video player is banned from using an adblock.

Common Issues

"Ad Blockers violate Youtube Terms Of Service" OR Just a black screen

This happens when there is an adblock other than the script running. Common ways you may be blocking ads accidentally on Youtube is:

• Adblock extension: Disable or whitelist YouTube on your ad blocker extension.

• Browser built-in adblock: Some browsers have built-in ad blockers. Disable or configure them.

• Other Tampermonkey scripts: Scripts like YouTube enhancer may conflict. Disable them one by one to identify the issue.

• Wi-Fi/DNS/Firewall adblock rules: Check network settings for any ad-blocking configurations.

• Windows hosts file rules: Inspect the Windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) for ad-blocking rules.

Star History

removeadblockthing's Issues

Scroll bar in YouTube full screen

The scroll bar is still there when in full screen

Persistent scrollbar after latest userscript update (chrome/webkit)

minor issue, not even really an issue i just wanted to comment this:

latest update works but sometimes there will be a horizontal scrollbar inside the video player

adding the following to the end of the script will hide it

 /* hide scrollbar but allow scrolling */
element {
    -ms-overflow-style: none; /* for Internet Explorer, Edge */
    scrollbar-width: none; /* for Firefox */
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

It only blocks the ad at he start all the midroll ads still play

Popup diappears, video does not play. (Newest Opera Version)

I just installed this feature but it doesn't seem to be working. When activated, the popup disappears, but nothing is happening after that. The Video doesn't play, there is just a blank space, where the video should be. I am usesing the Opera Browser on the latest Version (17th Oct. 2023).

cant scroll and cant type or click on anything

oh and the pause button shows always paused and it cant pause

Questions

Is it compatible with Violentmonkey?

Is it supposed to also remove this message?

As of today 20/10 no longer works.

Blocks the ads, but still has to wait for the ad to be over before playing the video. This happens with or without AdBlockPlus.

"Search page > Filters" button is not available with this script

"Search page > Filters" button is not available with this userscript enabled in Tampermonkey.

It seems that it was accidentally injured. Sometimes I need to use this for precise searches.

Shows scroll bar while playing video in full screen.

Whenever I play video in full screen, it shows scroll bar in the video.

Age restricted

While trying to play an age restricted video the following message it's shown :
This video is age-restricted and only available on YouTube. [Learn more]

doesnt work, popup is glitched, cant scroll or watch video

Yes, the popup disappeared at first but then it glitched the page after like 2-3 videos and its stuck on this screen (look at attachment). I also can't scroll down to look for other videos and of course cannot watch videos because of this weird glitch. I have even turned off ublock and the script but nothing is working and it's just stuck on this picture.

not show "save to playlist"

Nice work!
But, there are side effects that can cause the "save to playlist" interface not to pop up.

fast forwarding ads

i've noticed that when ads show up on something i'm watching, they're fast forwarded super quickly and disappear in no more than a second or two. is this how it's intended to work? if so, it's quick enough that it doesn't necessarily bother me, but i'm wondering if there's a way to mute the ads while they're fast forwarding? it's a bit of a jump scare when it happens, especially when i'm watching a video where the sound is a bit lower and then i get a loud mid-roll. even though it's over almost instantly, it's still a sudden burst of noise.

Just dont work

Yeah nothing else to say. Adblock is working but Youtube detect it.

Not an Issue But a Question

Will the script work in uBlock Origin or will I have to install tampermonkey?

Shows a black screen when trying to play a video

hey, soo when i try playing a video on yt it shows the "ad blocker breaks tos" and black screen happenes even turning off adblocker breaks it i tried everything i have trying a refreshing method tho and somtimes it playes the video

not work every time.

for the first time it miss the popup. after that it block next pop ups but scrolling not working everytime. it works like block element via adblocker extension.
and from today I face a new issue, I use 'html5 video player enhanced script" from greasy fork but when this script block pop, at the same time enable blur by 300%...why?

also screen got black on yt player....I'm using brave browser and it's inbuild adblocker

IGNORE

IGNORE PLS
had enhancer for chrome on, which bugged out youtube.

Three dots additional menu icon not working

The menu button (represented by the three dots icon) is not functioning on both the home screen and within the video queue block. When you click on it, nothing happens. It should display an additional pop-up menu.

current version still has broken scrolling

i cannot scroll and the video is automatically paused

Dimmed Cannot Scroll

video pauses everytime

video pauses everytime youtube addblocker notification comes,,maybe bcz of yt new adblocker notification needs additional 3 seconds to load close icon

popup disapears, cant scroll but also cant watch video

Cannot scroll if popup appears (Chrome 117)

I am running Chrome 117 and whenever the block appears, it removes it but I am no longer able to scroll down the page, it just snaps back to the top of the page.

Scrolling broken?

Using the latest version that you published an hour ago on Monday, 16th October, however, since then scrolling down seems to be broken.

Unsure if this works on Opera Gx

I'm as beginner as can be, probably a user error more than anything. I was told opera runs on chrome, so idk if this works on opera at all but I've found no success

Script Disables Other Normal Features?

Installing this script on Greasemonkey results in the disabling of the dotted menu next to Youtube video titles that typically lets me save them to Queue or Watch Later. It also prevents me from viewing new responses to my comments.

cant scroll anymore

it used to work like minutes ago

Video stops playing one second after loading (i presume the same time the popup would appear)

At the time the adblocker popup would appear the video pauses (the popup is blocked like it is supposed to)

Recommending Violentmonkey instead of Tampermonkey

Thanks for the project! I think we all love open source software so recommending Violentmonkey instead of Tampermonkey on README file is a good idea, in my opinion. Hope contributors also agree with me.

Ads are not blocking

It is just a minor issue. It would be better, if these thumbnail ads also get's removes. See 👇🏻 these thumbnail ads are showing on browser.
https://ibb.co/f28wYbf

And I have one more request.
I'm a YouTube user, and I find it inconvenient to click 'Show more replies' repeatedly to view all comments on videos. Could you please make a script on this, that loads all comments at once? It would make my YouTube experience much better.

Opens Community Posts After Opening Page

The script is randomly opening community posts after I open a new Youtube page. This doesn't occur when the script is off. Not the most debilitating issue, but an incredibly annoying one. Aside from that issue, it's working fine for me. Help would be highly appreciated.

When using can not acces the profile menu

• When i am using the script i can not open or acces the menu until a i turn off the script in Tampermonkey
  UPDATE Today 10.10 2023 i stop to work for no reason i tryed to fix it but never had the luck to fix it

autoplay

not an issue, i just wanted to ask if it would be able to add a code to resume the video after it closes the popup?

Simplify installation readme

The installation could be just:

• install Tampermonkey
• click here and click install.

Constant refreshing

Constant refreshing when opening YouTube video player in any context (new tab, home page, enlarge mini player, etc.);

The page refreshes repeatedly for on average 30-45 seconds before it stabilizes and begins playing the video.
If on a playlist or queue, shuffle and loop settings are lost.

I'm using Opera GX (version in Opera GX menu > "Help" > "About Opera" says "LVL5 (core: 102.0.4880.104)").

Does absolutely nothing for me

If I run this with my adblocker off, it just plays ads. If I run it with my adblocker off, it still shows the popup. As far as I can tell the script just isn't doing anything.

Youtube released their new "disable after 3 videos" thing for ad blockers.

shows scroll bar while in fullscreen

self explanitory

Scrolling issues (Opera GX)

The script works fine but there are some annoying things. Both of my issues come from scrolling.

The first issue is that there is a random horizontal scroll bar. When I am in theater mode it does nothing. When I am in fullscreen you can scroll right to another scroll bar?? (I saw that having a scroll bar in fullscreen was another issue)

I'd assume this is just because of how the script works but it's still kinda annoying.

The other issue has already been touched on but sometimes scrolling locks when I enter a page. Whenever I reload it just works fine but it's still annoying.

Other than that it works fine, thank you to all who has helped with this :D

Stops working once you click on a new video ?

The script seems to work great but it seems to lose effect when i play a new video

Does not work

This script does not block youtubes adblock detection pop up using tampermonkey. This is on Chrome browser. I've tried relaunching the browser.

Popup disappears early (good), but disables page scrolling (bad)

This popup is the most stubborn thing on the planet, I swear.

Scroll Bars on Fullscreen

Addblock seems to work, no more Notification as well. But once I enter fullscreen I get vertical and horizontal scrollbars on the border of my screen

Not Working on Google Chrome Version 117.0.5938.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Tab freezes after script removes popup

Screen tints ever so slightly black, and I can no longer click on anything on the tab. Video keeps playing.

Doesn't work anymore

As of 3:30PM EST on 10/15/2023, this no longer works. I am getting the Adblock Blocker pop-up again. Just putting this here so other people know.

share link and other unrelated pop ups no longer work now !

Does this work for you?

All Popups are deleted

It works well for removeing the anti adblock popup, but it also remove any other popup, like unsubscribing

I don't know if it's possible to "filter" what popup get detected, so this might be unfixable
