Seems like it’s controlled test in different countries and segments. I (Europe) get this popup in Firefox, I also use pi-hole DNS and ublock origin.
Also Europe here, using ublock and firefox, and I don’t get that popup.
Dies your PiHole block Youtube ads?
It does not. It can only block domains. Youtube ads use same domain as actual videos.
Thanks, I thought so.
It doesn’t because it can’t the ads and videos are on the same domain now
Thanks, I thought so.
How does YouTube know whether I’m blocking or not if it all happens at the client side?

Put a few blocks of information encoded in the video of the ad itself. Require that block of information as a key to watch the next video on Youtube.
Interesting. But it probably only takes less than a few seconds for a program to scan a 30s video file and extract that bit of information.
