YouTube has worked fine for me using Firefox with Ublock Origin, with no lag, notifications telling me to turn off ad blocking, or any of the other issues users have reported here.

Definitely issues. For a while I was getting the ban screen until they figured things out. Now I am clearly getting worse performance than I do with ads. I also noticed a tendency to get a frozen image when stepping over an ad break after using Firefox for a long time, but closing it down and opening it again seems to clear that up, so that's what I do.

But it still works and I still get no ads once the daily key situation got cleared up. At least for now. Not seamless, though.

Ban screen?

They had that "hey, you're on adblocker, you don't get to use this unless you disable it" screen. I don't know if Google stopped using it or if my adblocker just got good at preventing it, but I was getting it for a while, then it stopped.

Got it! I thought you got something like "keep doing this and we'll ban your account," which would be quite scary.

It's the reason why I access Youtube from a tab in which I'm not logged in to my main Google account.
