I use Adblock Plus based on EasyList and I do not get any ads from Google. But that might be my custom configuration …

Not ads - Sponsored listings. A good example is the YouTube video feed; the first video is usually a Sponsored video. I wouldn't care so much except they're usually link bait videos with hot girls or people getting hurt in "funny" ways. Don't want.

EasyList and other filter sets work on most AdBlock versions. I also use the social filters to speed up page load since most pages are waiting on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc auth & cookies before they can finish displaying.

If you're seeing ANY YouTube ads something's wrong. Report it on ABP's forum or issue tracker: https://adblockplus.org/forum/ https://issues.adblockplus.org/
