Still works on brave browser. If i want to listen to music I don't have on my phone I go to youtube on the browser and never see ads. Fuck jewtube though. I try not to use jewish platforms when I really don't have to.
The expansion of ads on YouTube in the last year or so has made watching YouTube feel like watching half-t.v. For a long time, you would have an ad at the beginning and maybe at the end of the video. Then it became two ads at the beginning. Now you get pairs of ads dashed intermittently throughout the videos - I don't know the extent to which creators have control over this, like if they opt in for moneitzation, if YouTube determines the "ad space" per given unit of time. But it's become really fucking annoying especially for somebody who uses YouTube for music playlists (I like a lot of the ambient playlists for background noise).
The ads don't respect the type of content whatsoever. You could have a song with a guitar solo, and the solo is interrupted by 40 seconds worth of ads before the song picks back up. It completely ruins the experience.

They could really cripple things with a blocker, e.g. not allow the main video to load until the full time of the ads has passed. So maybe you don't see the ad, but you're sitting there waiting 30 seconds or more for the video to load.
It's for said mainstream browser extensions. You run the script with a script manager like Greasemonkey and add the filter list to whatever adblocker you're using. It's not a separate program or extension; it's more or less parameters for your extensions.
They've been doing this for like two years at least. But they can't figure out how to get around certain types of blockers without completely breaking everything.
The most successful I've personally see them be is to be able force ads, but with only the audio working. And it was patched within a few hours.

There used to be a lot of filter lists for them, but most gave up the fight. Pretty sure that AAK is current.
