I’m going to start a discussion in the comments here about methods to bypass the message. I will add suggestions here, so leave comments if you find a method!

Methods to bypass Youtube Anti-Adblock:

- The easiest method is simply to comply and turn off your adblock extension.
My Method

• My method, and the one that will likely work universally is as follows:

Install Extension Enhancer for YouTube™

• Downloads:Firefox | Chrome

Go to the extensions settings and ensure that under the Ads Management section, “Block Ads” is turned OFF

Now find the Custom Script box at the very bottom and enter the following script. I did not write this code, it comes from egaudette on GitHub

<span style="color:#323232;">(function() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    'use strict';
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var clickInterval = setInterval(skipAds, 5);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var ytpAdModule;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var miniAdd;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var skipButton;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    var currentVideo;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    function skipAds() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        ytpAdModule = document.querySelector('.ytp-ad-module');
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        skipButton = document.querySelector('button[class*="ad-skip"]');
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        miniAdd = document.querySelector('.ytp-ad-overlay-container');
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        if (ytpAdModule !== null &amp;&amp; ytpAdModule.innerHTML !== '') {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            ytpAdModule.style.display = 'none';
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        if (skipButton !== null) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            skipButton.click();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            return;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        currentVideo = document.querySelector('video[class*="main-video"]')
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        if (currentVideo !== null &amp;&amp; currentVideo.duration &lt;= 5) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            currentVideo.muted = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            currentVideo.play();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            currentVideo.currentTime = currentVideo.duration;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">})();
</span>

Lastly, ensure the “Automatically execute the script when YouTube is loaded in a tab” box is checked, and press Save

I’ll add more methods as they are discovered!

This method lets ads load for half a second but then get skipped instantly. i have not personally found a way to 100% block ads once ive gotten their block page.

This has not worked for me.
