I've gotten the warning, but I just close the window and watch the video. Is that how it's supposed to work? Because, if so, it's only a minor annoyance.

Soon it will make you wait a bit seconds before the X appears

And after that it appears in the video window and is unable to be closed.

Never got that far for me. Went through Ublock's steps to force update filters and clear cache a couple of times. Occasionally I won't be able to interact with the UI. No scrolling etc. Since I also run a YouTube enhancer (with it's add block turned off), the video is automatically full screen, 2x speed and auto plays.

And then later it won't appear

This is just the first step, the more you click that X the more annoying they make it until eventually you can't close it or watch anything at all.

Then I'll just watch stuff on Invidious.

I mean as this post says, uBlock is still blocking everything.
