This will lead to an increase of ad-blocker-blocker-blocker development.

They already exist and are quite effective, I wonder whether YouTube is able to detect those too

So you're saying we need an ad-blocker-blocker-blocker-blocker-blocker.

Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?

There is Nanodefender for Firefox. Just be aware that there are different versions of this for Firefox and chome but those will actually track you. The original developer sold their code to people with bad intentions, this is a fork.

It'll happen. I just hope that it will just become semi-diffucult to do it, so that non-technical people give in so Google is happy, then the 0.1% of us can enjoy our adblocked youtube.
