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.

ublock origin by far. Just refresh the filter list every now and then.

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.

Pls consider editing and making it unlock origin. They are different and someone who won't know better will get the wrong one :)
