Here is every single way I can think of to block YouTube ads: uBlock Origin + Firefox NewPipe on Android Libretube on Android uYou+ on iOS FreeTube on *NIX and Windows yt-dlp + mpv YouTube Revanced Invidious self hosting Piped self hosting

And finally, last and definitely least YouTube Premium

I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.

  I believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.

    Correct. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.

  Amazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.

Then stop using youtube. It sucks ever since googol bought it. Haven’t used it since.

  Absolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.

You should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.

There’s also Pipeline for *nix (and possibly Windows, but I didn’t bother to check.)

I second Freetube. Not a perfect app (think it’s Chromium based), but it gets the job done and they’re pretty good about updating it pretty quickly whenever YT successfully breaks it.
