I was using newpipe x Sponsorblock on Android exclusively, and now on desktop I've moved to freetube. Never did get the pop up telling me to remove Adblock but decided to make the jump early.
Freetube adopter as well. The experience is actually an improvement over using the yt site. I wish I had done it earlier.
The only issue I have with freetube is that I sometimes like to click on the recommended videos on YouTube's front page. If I switch to freetube entirely, I'll lose that. But if uBlock doesn't continue to work I will make the switch and the YouTubers I wouldn't normally see just won't get my views any longer.
I never thought of that aspect as I've never used them. My subscription list is so long, I don't have the time to watch the videos I'm subbed to, much less any bonus content. I wonder how many people use that feature.
