#### [uBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/)

A good open source browser plugin ad blocker is a great start to using YouTube without the horrible user experience of the ads but because of a recent change to Chrome you will also want to switch to a different browser as Chrome has changed the rule prioritizing corporate tracking and advertising over user privary and functionallity.
