I think the FBI recommends the use of ad blockers for personal safety, let me find that link real quick...

Edit: FOUND IT, Third point under "Tips to Protect Yourself"

Linux user here, at least on my platform there are chromium alternatives that are far faster, like Brave. uBlock (and now this) are the only reason im still in firefox

fantastic. Also, just so you don't have all that "YoU hAvE tHrEe ViDeOs LeFt" BS copy paste this to the "my filters" tab (go to about:addons, click on uBlock, there dots, "preferences", then "my filters") and you should be good to go:

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
