YouTube now has an annoying pop-up that keeps popping up and asking you to disable advertisement blockers.
This filter code for uBlock Origin will block this pop-up, but it stops scrolling on the page afterwards. This isn’t very pleasant but I guess having the ability to play videos still is fine.

This will block the annoying pop-up anyway.
Another thing to try is to go to Dashboard->Settings in uBlock Origin, then ‘Filter lists’, and click Purge all caches. Once that completes, click ‘Update now’. This will forcibly update all filter lists.
These tips might or might not work. But give it a go and see if it helps.
Here is the HTML of the pop-up element from the Chrome inspector in Microsoft Edge.

This is the CSS class.
class="style-scope ytd-popup-container" |
Therefore, this simple uBlock Origin class will block the pop-up element and a full-page element behind it that blocks the YouTube page.

I still can not find the script that is preventing page scrolling, but this is as far as I could get.
