anyone have a good chrome extension that blocks youtube ads? The one I was using was just flagged for malware

The problem here is Chrome - guess what, the company that brought you YT also makes the Browser that prevents ad blocking by simply calling ad blocking software "rogue".

I'm pretty happy paying for YouTube Premium; it seems like a fair deal given how much my family uses YouTube. But I'm worried that sooner or later YouTube Premium is gonna get Google Graveyarded, or they're going to insert ads anyway.
