I'm curious - are there good adblockers today that can block YouTube ads? I vaguely remember uBlock Origin facing the problem of Google serving ads from the same domains/addresses as the actual video, making adblocking on YouTube virtually impossible.

I use uBlock Origin on Firefox and it seems to work fine for blocking YouTube ads (to the point where I frequently forget YouTube has ads until I make the mistake of trying to access it on a browser lacking an ad-blocker, lol).
uBlock Origin (even with default block lists) + Sponsorblock is what I use for a fully ad-free YouTube experience. Sponsorblock is a crowd-sourced native sponsor-content timeskipper. For medium to large channels it works like a charm. I highly recommend this setup.
