uBlock Origin and similar ad blockers stop YouTube ads. Occasionally YouTube changes something and ads sneak through until someone updates the filters.
Now that Chrome has essentially neutered its ad blockers, the only option for many people is Firefox on desktop and mobile, which still has a working version of uBO.
It's odd I have unlock and my YouTube still has ads. But mostly I'm looking for a mobile app to use YouTube without ads
