Instead of an endless cat and mouse game versus YouTube, why not just play their game but with our own rules? It's a lot easier to do this than to have to purge caches every other day, imo.

You can't escape the cat and mouse game. I'm pretty sure that if this method caught on youtube would come up with counter measures for it as well. Right now, I feel like between ublock, newpipe, and yt-dlp I'm pretty well covered for ad-blocking. Maybe this method will get picked up and added as a fallback option in more mature projects, but I can't advise installing add-ons that don't already have a long and solid track record.
