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

      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.

        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.
