Any suggestions on alternatives for blocking adds?

Isn’t it fun going down this road rather than fixing the need for ad blockers. (The ones beyond I’m just not interested)

The fbi recommends using adblockers which is amusing to me as Google is headquartered under their jurisdiction.

Drive by scams malicious scripts and straight up videos that google themselves would kill the account of a creator for.

And on top of that there’s only so many times in an hour I can watch an ad for raid shadow wallet in an hour before I need a suicide hotline

You’re going to get suicide booth ads if you don’t watch out.

I’m glad that last week I decided to ditch Youtube proper and use the Invidious frontend instead.

I use Twingate to access my home network externally. NetworkChuck has a good video on how it works and how to set up.

I use Baking Soda and Vinegar to convert all videos in Safari (macOS and iOS) to the native video player. Automatically selects the highest quality video available and skips ads.
