I set my user agent to the Google bot for youtube. It seems to work last time they pulled this shit. The only down side is that it forces desktop view if on mobile.

I guess it's time to update uBlock Origin lists.
Switched to piped/invidious. There are even a few good apps like Libretube or Freetube. No need to waste time with scripts and stuff.
"No need to waste time with scripts and stuff.", you mean other than learning and knowing what the script does as opposed to hoping the apps' developers are honest, never die, and never sell out.

Update your filters lists on uBlock Origin. That may help.
Use FreeTube and use Privacy Redirect or LibRedirect to redirect to FreeTube.
Privacy redirect has been discontinued for years, I strongly suggest using libredirect
to keep me sane I just use Freetube on destop and Tubular on phone
you can't post comments on both but I feel this is a positive

Restarting Firefox usually fixes everything for me.
I just use uBlock Origin (without any additional scripts) and whenever it stops working I update the filter lists manually (it updates them automatically every now and then).
Which lists do you use?
Not using the default ones is a probable cause for why your browser gets flagged. Restore to default settings and make sure you don't have other adblockers enabled (such as the one built into YouTube Enhancer add-on) If you still get the pop-up you can update the "quick fixes" list or wait an hour or so for the uBlock team to catch up with Google's latest updates to the detection script.

Just the standard ones. Do a purge and a manual update. So long as the script has been updated, you'll be good to go

I use the LibRedirect browser add-on to use Invidious on desktop and NewPipe on Android. Never use youtube.com, problem solved.
