But Google is going to use my data for advertising, with or without premium. An adblocker gives me the luxury of not seeing ads while keeping my data private.

I don't think any adblocker could realistically stop Google from tracking what you do on YouTube.

Flushing browsing data regularly should, except of course if you have to login to youtube.

Maybe it's only for the EU, but on adsettings.google.com you cab tell it not to use personalised data for ads.

Google still has the data though.

Unfortunately, I do not trust this setting at all. They still have the data and they will hoard them, and use it for unknown purposes.
