I have discovered YouTube's new method of trying to block adblockers, they are adding something to the info stored in the browser. tonight when I opened my browser to YouTube, it was blocked. What I did was delete everything except my cookies from my browser, and it worked. Do not allow YouTube to send you "Notifications" of any kind should you receive any notification from YouTube asking for you to allow notifications.
So if anyone has the same problem as I did tonight, do what I did above. The next time it happens, if it does, I will look at the stored files and see if I can find the offending file and let you know what it is.🍷😏

Greeting all, I suggest you install Brave browser then go here and install this plugin to stop this nonsense from YouTube. Once the installs complete, look top right, and see if you can see the ublock icon up there. If you cannot see it, this is what you do.
Hover your mouse curser over the icons you see until you find the 'extensions' icon, click on it, and in the popup window, look for the Ublock icon and click "Pin". The red Ublock icon should now be seen top right, click on that Ublock icon, and in the popup window, click the cog.
This is an important part that needs to be done at least once a week, or when you see "Yellow exclamation marks" start to appear. The first thing you do is press the button "Purge all Caches" and wait for the process to complete, then click "Update Now" and wait some more lol. When that completes, your shiny new Brave browser is ready to use on YouTube. Remember, this must be updated as often as necessary, or untill you start to see youTube has blocked you again.
USE OF ANY OTHER BROWSER OTHER THAN BRAVE BROWSER
It is however not necessary to use Brave browser as Ublock Origin will install on most common browsers and work just fine with YouTube videos.
Do not add any other ad blockers, or if you already have ad blocker plugins (extensioins) installed on your preferred browser, either disable them, or remove them by uninstalling them. Just leave the "Ublock Origin" plugin and it'll work fine.
Edited by: Sasquash I forgot to mention what to do once the Ublock extension is installed.
1 Once installed, look top right on your browser and click the Ublock icon, when the window opens, click the cog at the bottom which will then take you to the Ublock Dashboard. look for "Filters List" and click on it, and search visually for "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" and make sure this option in the corresponding box is selected
2 It is recommended that you click the button "Purge all Caches" as the scripts may be out of date. Once completed, click the button "Update Now' and wait for it to complete. Once done, close the Ublock Dashboard window and refresh your browser. You are ready to watch any video without those annoying "Youtube has blocked..." bla bla bla.
Have a great day. 😉

This video will suffice for what I wanted to do as a visual representation.
