So im running pihole with ublock on Firefox in Linux. I’ve yet to see this warning. Any reason?
As long as you're using just the pihole YouTube shouldn't be able to detect it. The playback blocker is based on detecting common ad blocker extensions in your web browser.
I was told the other day that pihole doesn't block YouTube ads because they're served from the same server?
If you use a YouTube app then yes, the ads don't seem to be able to be blocked. Browser based YouTube ads still seem to be able to be blocked by pihole
