Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

    Then I guess it’s just down to cookies? Private doesn’t transfer cookies from the main session. You start with a clean slate all the time.

      I assume so. But I don’t see why they would need your main session’s cookies to tell if you’re using an ad blocker. I’m guessing this is still something left over from when they were giving you one nag-free video per day, so private tabs will probably see the nag screen too eventually.
