in Ublock Origin extension using that and clearing cookies for YouTube regularly stops ads showing
if for some reason it stops working
Go to Settings in Ublock (Open Dashboard) -> Filters list (second tab at the top)-> Purge all caches -> Update filters
1- In some cases it is necessary to clear your history, in order to delete cookies and cache from YT.
2- Quite possible this would need to be performed every now and then, whenever YT updates their detection functionality. It's and arms race at this point.
