Using Ublock origin with additional filters enabled, didn't get any popups or redirects (all built in, all under privacy, easylist from adds, all from malware domains, all from annoyances, Dan Pollock’s hosts file and Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list from multipurpose, Adblock Warning Removal List from custom)

additionally I have these custom rules to block YouTube suggestions so I can better focus, has the added advantage that the UI looks better, autoplay can be controlled from the player and playlist can be accessed in full screen mode (which is the only time I really need access to them).

I'm using Ublock Origin with no extras enabled and also go no pop-ups.
