I see loads of posts that ad blockers stopped working on youtube. However, I still have no ads there. I’m running vivaldi with ublock on Linux and Vivaldi with minminguard on Android (EU based).
There’s 3 reasons why you might see this AdBlock nonsense:
YouTube changed something and the filter lists need a bit of time for volunteers to update them
Your auto update of filter lists did not pull the above update yet
Some other addon/privacy feature interferes with ublock or triggers the adblock detection themselves
If you didn’t run into any of these yet, you’ll have no problems. Also sometimes you might have one of the above problems, but the adblock detection feature may not have been rolled out to your region/account yet, so you’re also fine.

Is this a firefox issue, US only,…?
I am in France
Nobody said adblocks stopped working. It’s YouTube who blocks YOU from watching when adblock running
No ads here, adblocker active and I can watch yt in the Netherlands. Either the ad block detecting is not perfect or not globally active.
