Pihole with ad blocking or an OpenWRT (or really any router) router with ad blocking DNS is an alternative.

The YouTube ads defeat DNS sinkholes because the ads are served from the same domain(s) as the content.

Can they evade uBo, too? I had a stretch where I was getting them in FF with uBo & Privacy badger, even after updating all rules, but then they started being blocked again on their own.

iOS can do DNS adblocking natively. https://adguard.com/en/blog/encrypted-dns-ios-14.html Doesn't work for youtube because they're serving the ads first party.
