Ad blockers on Safari are apparently unable to block YouTube ads, due to API limitations.

I wish Firefox wouldn't excessively drain the battery on macOS, and Chrome wouldn't excessively drain personal data to Google, and Brave wouldn't excessively violate the trust of its users.

As of today, there's not a single browser on macOS that I don't strongly dislike. Looks like Safari won't improve soon.

Adguard blocks YouTube ads. Maybe actually try it before dismissing it lol

I tried 1blocker and Wipr. Both failed to block YouTube ads due to said API limitations (as confirmed by their devs).

If it's in fact an API limitation, why bother trying yet another blocker? After your reply, I did a quick search for Adguard and found this:
