Inside the ‘arms race’ between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.::YouTube’s dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there’s an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

To be absolutely sure no one gets this wrong - uBlock Origin is what you want. Not just uBlock.

To be even absolutelier sure no one gets this wrong - use uBlock Origin on Firefox (or one of it’s forked versions) because every other Browser runs chromium under it’s hood which heavily restricts ad blocking abilities

Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I’ll be moving over to it with extensions.
