why even use chrome? firefox with add-ons is the way to go. eventually google will break any plugin preventing ads and privacy

Yeah. Don’t use chrome and use Firefox. Then install the Adblock extension on Firefox.

Stop supporting google by using their browser.

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".
