  It doesn’t make the “turn off your adblock” popup go away though.

    I’ve never seen that. YMMV, I guess.

      It might be something they’re testing. I had it and then it went away for a bit and now its back. I emulate android on my PC just so I can use an app that has no ads.

        Make sure your ublock lists are up to date, sometimes the extension gets a bit stuck and needs a nudge to update them.

        It’s an arms race and Google hasn’t won it yet.
