Firefox with uBO, haven't seen an add or ran into any issues in ages, both windows and linux.

Sometimes I need to refresh the page for the video to play but otherwise no issues, ff+ubo ftw

Exactly, this! uBlock Origins will block upwards of thousands of ads/trackers/whatever from YouTube. After it hits about 50k+, it'll start to act strangely. At that point I just refresh the video and it all goes away. I think this happens when YouTube changes something cached in the browser, which was originally not blocked by uBO, even when uBO might have been updated to block the new stuff. I have uBO on auto-update for this reason. Whenever I notice shit not working, F5 FTW!
