Method 1: Utilizing an Extension to Bypass the Alert
- Navigate to the “Ad Blockers Not Allowed on YouTube Bypass” extension on the Chrome Web Store.
- Click Add to Chrome and then Add Extension to install it in your browser.
- Go to YouTube and try playing a video with your ad blocker enabled. The video should play without ads and the “ad blockers not allowed” popup message.
Method 2: Overcoming the YouTube Anti-Ad Blocker Popup using the Brave Browser
- Open the Brave browser on your Mac or Windows computer.
- Visit youtube.com.
- When the site loads, click the Brave Shields icon next to the address bar.
- Enable the toggle next to “Shields are DOWN for www.youtube.com.”
- Enter brave://adblock in the address bar to open the Brave Shields Filters page.
- Scroll to the bottom and paste the following code in the “Create Custom Filters” box:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
- Click Save Changes.
Method 3: Blocking the Anti-Ad Block Message with uBlock Origin
- Install the uBlock Origin extension on your browser (if not already installed).
- Click the extension icon in the toolbar and select Settings.
- Choose My filters on the dashboard page.
- Copy and paste the following code:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
- Select Apply Changes to save your settings.
Method 4: Employing a YouTube Anti-Ad Block Extension to Bypass the Alert
- Find the “YouTube Anti-Ad Block Bypass” extension on the Chrome Web Store.
- Click Add to Chrome followed by Add Extension.
- Now pair this with a dedicated ad-blocker extension, and you should no longer see the “ad blockers not allowed” popup.
Method 5: Applying an Anti-Adblock Killer Script to Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox
- Install a script manager extension like “TaperMonkey” in Chrome or “GreaseMonkey” in Firefox.
- Visit this link and click Install to import the anti-adblock killer script (the button appears only when the script manager extension is installed in the browser).
- Install an ad-blocker extension if you haven’t already.
- Visit its corresponding GitHub link and click Subscribe to add the script to the filter list for the ad blocker you’re using on your browser.
Method 6: Taking Advantage of Third-Party Ad-Free YouTube Apps
Another way to circumvent the “ad blockers not allowed” alert is to use third-party ad-free YouTube apps like YouTube Vanced, NewPipe, or the built-in ad-blocking feature of the Brave browser.
