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.

What alternatives are there?
Like actually different platforms? None really, since Google willfully ran YouTube on a loss to strangle potential competition and claim the natural monopoly for themselves.
There are privacy-respecting front-ends for YouTube tho, like piped or Invidious.
I use YouTube once every… month? Two months? This speaking as someone who would use it daily. I assume it depends on your use. For me it was music. Now I just use a music service.
I don’t watch TV, so I actually use YouTube for a lot of entertainment and education. Veritasium, CGP Grey, Ramblomatic, How to cook that, Kurzgesagt, Numberphile, Agadmator… And more.
I feel for you, godspeed in all your jouneys.
