Had to block a few by element untill I got stuck with the stop vid after one second and no scroll available couldn't work out to block without breaking the feed, forced ublock to purge and update and its sorted it. Do you use an iPhone or an Android? I stopped using iPhones about five years ago. Back then there was no useful browser-based adblock that worked on YouTube, thanks to the closed nature of the Apple ecosystem. I had Firefox mobile, but I couldn't get useful plugins. Not sure if that's changed in the intervening years. For my Android devices, I use mobile Firefox, uBlock Origin, and Ghostery. Same as with my desktop Firefox. I've never gotten a YouTube ad on mobile or desktop, so it's been working pretty well.

I still haven't received any kind of message relating to adblockers, using Firefox, uBlock, and Ghostery. I also pay for cell service through Google Fi and cloud storage through my Google account, and I stay logged in for YouTube. I wonder if there's some kind of flag on accounts that already pay for Google services, because they're already getting my money in other ways. Or maybe I'm just lucky with the uBlock filters, idk.

Yeah, idk how effective uBlock Origin is on Chrome, but thanks to uBlock I have legit never had a YouTube advertisement on Firefox, ever. For that matter, I can't remember the last time I got an ad anywhere else.
