Aussie here. Using Firefox and UBO, but with default settings. I downloaded the extension, popped it on about 4 years ago and haven’t done anything since. I’ve had the same experience as you - no video delays or pop ups.
Could we just be “lucky”?

I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I’m in Canada and I’ve noticed none of this. No video load delays, no anti ad-blocker pop ups, none of it. I’m not going to stop using Firefox or Ublock Origin though.
