Watching YouTube in private window still works with an ad block - eviltoast

That’s a lazy solution without installing Peertube/Piped/Invidious etc,

    There’s 3 reasons why you might see this AdBlock nonsense:

    1. YouTube changed something and the filter lists need a bit of time for volunteers to update them
    2. Your auto update of filter lists did not pull the above update yet
    3. Some other addon/privacy feature interferes with ublock or triggers the adblock detection themselves

    If you didn’t run into any of these yet, you’ll have no problems. Also sometimes you might have one of the above problems, but the adblock detection feature may not have been rolled out to your region/account yet, so you’re also fine.
