Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

Are you talking about YouTube? At least currently ublock is working fine in there and I have not encountered popups.

Yea it's possible that ublock patched their latest attempt, and it'll take some time before Google goes again

Arms race it is

I had another extension that was also modifying their ads. That may have been the trigger.
