  I got the pop-up too, but I can just kick the X and continue watching without adds. Got unlock origin.

    That’s phase one. At one point, a timer will appear and you have ti wait until you can click the X. Lastly, the video will stay locked and cannot be watched.

    You seeing the popup means you need to update the uBlock filters and disable other add-on’s ad filters like Enhancer’s Block Ads feature.

  Yeah I’ve had it sporadically happen to me but last night was the most effective. Fully updated Firefox and ublock on windows and I could only watch 3 videos before getting locked out.

  Previous to last night, I hadn’t seen the pop up for at least a week.

    I actually had it about 20 minutes ago. Forgot to post here. But when I Xed out of it, it played normally.
