Oh I just "remove element permanently" on U-Block origin.

Make sure to remove the invisible element too that covers the whole screen. They tried that to prevent ya from just opening the video anyway.

To deactivate the scrollblock, if you experience it,just go full screen once and go back out. Which can be easily automated via a macro or literally just pressing the F key twice.

YouTube's attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

They aren't trying right now because they're running tests. I'm assuming they're testing what does and doesn't work. They probably wanted us to find workarounds so they could patch them when they decide to actually roll out the anti-adblock feature.
