I try to watch videos on Youtube, and this is what I see...

How do deal with this?

@dtlong96 If you say what would be "this", maybe we can help.

@dtlong96 would it be a message about adblockers not be allowed? If so, that's a new YouTube policy.

You can try enabling opera://flags/#adblocker-anticv to see if it helps. You can also try using a adblocker extension, but they all may be blocked at some point.

@leocg yet I do not see that problem on other computers. Hmm.

This is "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service" message. I'm getting it across multiple devices where I use Opera (which very effectively blocks all youtube ads).
This is a massive problem, because even if I disable all ad blocking, it still doesn't leave me alone if I open YT in Opera. In fact, it looks like Google are linking it to the user somehow. If I log out, I'm not getting this. But as soon as I log in, boom, all videos are blocked.
Has anyone found a way around this?

@venividivici It seems that once you synced up with Opera, you must not access Youtube back on Chrome or this issue will happen. Same thing happened to me.
