Google may block you from watching YouTube videos if you have an ad blocker installed on your Windows PC or mobile device.

    I believe it was this one, just add it as part of the filter list in ublock

    The extension I used for user agent was this one. I don’t think it matters what you spoof as, but I chose to spoof as chrome. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/

    So far it worked and I’m back to no ads and no interruptions

        Yea, I have a couple more that I forget does what (I think a couple are for hiding youtube games and shorts and stuff), but it should just look like this in my filters.
