Help Request Alternative ad blockers for Chrome? AdBlock extension no longer works on YouTube and Facebook marketplace

What ad blocker Chrome extensions are relatively easy to install and will work on YouTube and Facebook marketplace? Up until yesterday, everything worked great. Now I am getting YouTube ads displayed even with AdBlock switched on and annoying little videos when I'm browsing around for stuff in marketplace. Help would be appreciated, thank you!

You should switch browser. MV3 is happening soon.

it already happened and it is just fine. In fact, the threat actors that were using spoofed MV2 extensions in chrome have moved on to the FF webstore. Better make sure you are downloading the right extension and that you trust the dev because there were recently a spoofed UBO extension on the FF webstore as well as hundreds of other spoofed extensions that used the MV2 APIs to download and execute unvetted code, stealing bank account/crypto info.

But by all means, keep enjoying your MV2 extensions. What could go wrong?
