1:  Daughter has Win 10.  I set her up to use Firefox with uBlock Origin plugin.  Just today she couldn't watch videos until i disabled for the YouTube site.

 

2: I have Fedora.  I am using Firefox and uBlock too.  YouTube isn't prompting me to disable the ad-blocker.  I can watch ad free with no problem.

 

Why the difference between the two?

It looks like Youtube is slowly rolling out the ad blocking changes. It works for some and not for others. There are some tweaks you can make to ublock to get around this but they don't work for everyone.

same has happened to me, again, I remember like one or two months ago adblock would stop working for like a week, and then it would work again

You can check whether uBlock has an update that bypasses the current anti-ad-block script on this page: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/

 

Currently, it has not updated. YouTube updated their script 6 hours ago.
