Make sure you have these rules enabled https://i.imgur.com/S9pCwIc.png

This blocks all twitter/facebook/google/botnet widgets, other tracking elements, all ads, even those on youtube. Highly increases your privacy and browsing experience. I use these rules for so long I even forgot youtube has ads.

I use the latest uBlock Origin with the latest stable Google Chrome on Linux. I have the block lists above (https://i.imgur.com/S9pCwIc.png) enabled, and I'm still getting lots of ads on YouTube. Ads started appearing in 2018, it was fine before.

Any advice how I can get rid of ads on YouTube?

Sometimes I just pull up the youtube app on my iPad no ad blockers work on there. And if I'm making food, I honestly don't worry as much about the ad.

But a 10 minute ad for a 2 minute video? Even then i'll download the video just to spite the entire ad platform, thats insane.
