Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn't, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

Bottom line is I don't see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is "surprised more people aren't using" it like it's the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It's best for PC but not for mobile.

You've brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too
