UBlock Origin is not an "ad blocker", it is a wide-spectrum blocker, which happens to be able to function as a mere "ad blocker". UBlock Origin is much more than just an ad blocker.
Some additional information about uBlock Origin The only ads that still sometimes get through are the ones served from the same domain as the website I'm visiting.
No other extensions I have used or seen are as effective as uBlock Origin and I never see ads on YouTube unless I turn it off.

If you're on chrome you might also want to install the WebSocket companion extension so that uBlock Origin can be aware of WebSocket connections and filter them. It is available on chrome and firefox and it's open source.

This extension failed to redirect a network request to data:image However, I am getting errors from Srciptsafe extension: Warning: I have installed uBlock Origin extension, and it indeed blocks youtube ads. How can I get rid of all Youtube ads? UPDATE: Unfortunately, this did not help, and I am still getting ads at the start of my videos. So I have installed another extension for Chromium Adblock for Youtube. I have not changed anything on my side, so I presumed something has changed on Youtube side. The only think I had to do was to install javascript blocker addon ( Scriptsafe extension for Chromium) and block the offending domains.Ĭouple of months ago, I started to get ads at the beginning of Youtube videos. For several years, I could watch youtube videos add-free.
