Because adblocking doesn't work on Chrome. Use Firefox.

  I recently saw a "adblockers aren't allowed on youtube" gate from Firefox. I recommend using Minitube on Linux desktop now. Plus youtube-dl and NewPipe.

    youtube-dl is broken now and barely updated for some byzantine reasons, no? yt-dlp is supposed to be the new hotness, though I've yet to try it. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/ https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/

      > yt-dlp is supposed to be the new hotness I've been using it as a drop-in replacement for YouTube-dl and it's been great.

      I use yt-dlp to download all my music now - it works. Really well. Probably because it pretends to be an Android client, and those are perpetually out of date. (Think of the shitty smart TVs!)

      True. yt-dlp is symlinked to youtube-dl on my system and I forget that sometimes!

  I'm using uBlock https://ublockorigin.com/ https://ublockorigin.com/. It works on chrome, edge and firefox. I dont see any extra ads on chrome over firefox.

    https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... explains a variety of techniques uBlock Origin implements in Firefox that are not supported in Chrome, with some statistics about what percentage of ads those are.
