Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

Use Freetube on the desktop and Newpipe (or the Sponsorblock version) on mobile (Android). No issues or ads
I use FreeTube but hadn't heard of Newpipe before. Thanks for the recommendation!
No problem
And if you don't want to install a thing, use any of the many invidious instances
Oh and to add, I've installed SmartTube on my tv. Works great.
