I'm since a half year withot ads since I use these scripts, obviously not detected by YT in their battle with uBO and other known adblocker extensions.Userscripts are a really good alternative to mainstream extensions and independent from the stores. In Greasyfork and OpenuserJS are very interesting scripts you can use. Using them with Greasymonkey or Violentmonkey or in Vivaldi installing them directly as extensions (but then you must update these by hand)
