Description
I was just opening a video for youtube then, the moment it skipped the ads, it displayed the "Adblock is not allowed on youtube" message, I had to refresh it to watch the video. This is a growing concern because even if the ads are played for a brief period it might still get detected anyways, note that I am using only Fadblock and no other adblocks.
edit: 3rd of June 9:04 am Ph time. It's already gotten worse, I have to refresh every video to watch

Research direction
The issue describes YouTube detecting and blocking the Fadblock extension. Start by examining the extension's content scripts and background service worker in the repository to understand how it intercepts and skips ads. Look for recent changes in YouTube's anti-adblock detection mechanisms. Testing involves loading the extension in a browser, reproducing the detection, and modifying the ad-skipping logic to be more stealthy. 'Done' means the extension works without triggering YouTube's warning across multiple video loads.
