My adblocker software now pops its own ads at me.
Can anyone recommend one that doesn't, and will block youtube ad content in videos? I'm on Chrome, mostly.

I use Malwarebytes for general protection. They have a chrome add-on that blocks advs and tracking. (no extra advs)
However, Youtube now downloads code to detect adv blockers and pops up a nasty message warning you to either turn the adv blocker off or purchase the adv free Youtube. (I have discontinued most of my youtube viewing in response to this).

You're using the wrong ad-blocker then. You can still block ads on youtube. I do it every day.

Hey, thanks.
It's not doing it anymore. When I got the message I checked around and found that people were complaining that youtube was downloading unwanted code to run and detect adv blockers, so I just stopped viewing.
Malwarebytes not only blocks ads and tracking but also traps redirects, unwanted downloads of code and links to sketchy sites. so I am not turning it off.
Thanks again.

I'm using Ad Block and Ad Block plus. One of them ends up blocking youtube. It also pops its own ads lately. So I'm looking to move. I'll try uBlock Origin next

I can recommend uBlock Origin, but it will not work in future Chrome versions, due to upcoming restrictions.
Alternatively you could switch to another Browser like Edge or Firefox.
There is also a new lite version of uBlock with limited functionality, which is supposed to work in future Chrome versions.
uBlock Origin definitely blocks youtube ads and never failed me.

I just switched this about 2 weeks ago from AdBlock Plus.
It seems Ok it so far.

uBO is the one I use (in Firefox). Works perfectly.

Someone in that recent discussion suggested using a host file.

I don't think that will work for blocking youtube content, and frankly I don't want to have to maintain all the blacklisted hosts myself.

Pi-Hole.
The community maintains the blacklist, and - bonus - if you configure it as your primary DNS, all devices on your network will benefit from it.

Have you considered a Pi-Hole? Pi-hole β Network-wide Ad Blocking
It doesn't block youTube ad content, but it does a pretty good job of blocking most ads. And you can blacklist/whitelist as well, so you can customize what ads or sites you see.
My biggest issue is that it blocks google ad services, so when you google something, you need to skip over the sponsored offerings, which go through googleadservices.com. Sometimes that's annoying. as you might really want to follow the sponsored link. You can, of course, whitelist google ad services, but that leaves you open to a lot of other advertising.

I just started using AdBlocker also and yes it does pop up ads now and then but it's better than the youtube 4 and 5 min ads on most every link.

As a programmer, I'd be too embarassed asking how to bypass another (programmer's) pay wall. And not for any technical reason.
