It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I'm finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I've got no idea when that'll become less reliable

Revanced is going to be hard for them to defeat as you're patching out ads in the code itself. Their best bet would be to start running ads injected directly into the stream like Twitch -- although those can also be bypassed but it requires proxies.

The anti-adblock popups should be able to be defeated. There have been anti-adblock scripts and anti-anti-adblock filters for years.
