Use Firefox, and all the same adblockers as always.

uBlock Origin to be more specific.
anything owned by eyeo (which now includes non-Origin uBlock and both AdBlock and AdBlock Plus) will probably consider this “acceptable ads” after not at all getting bribed by google, and the rest are quite literally malware

Paste link to VLC, mpv, other media player. Also Freetube and the sort work.

You could try piped.video or another piped instance

Probably wait until the adblockers update their filters to block YouTube’s attempt to block the adblockers. Twitch tried to do the same thing, and now there’s add-ons specifically designed to block that purple banner.

I’m not sure it’ll be that easy. As far as I know circumventing adblock-blockers is a violation under the DMCA :-( . I know some adblockers / block lists in the past have been slapped with DMCA notifications and they’ve subsequently removed the circumventions. See for example this commit to EasyList that removes functionalclam.com from EasyList. Functionalclam.com at the time was a service to block adblocking.
I’m hoping third-party youtube clients will be able to keep things ad-free.
