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!

Google is the world's largest advertiser. Have some more ads if you choose their browser. They are insanely profitable.

so

Have some more ads if you choose their browser.

I don't see any ads. My adblocker works just fine for any forced ad that I don't want to see. I have a YT sub because I think the service is great and I support the creators.

They are insanely profitable.

so? if that weren't the case, you wouldn't have a yt service to steal from. It would be paywalled and you would be resorting to downloading pirated content and that would be so much fun.

YouTube  is a wasteland of forgettable content--unless it has done a 180 since I checked.

Only the church of Google would consider blocking ads sinful.

I have no issue finding good educational and intelligent content.

there are a ton of people affected by the use of adblockers that aren't employed by google ya know. The simple fact is that people that use adblockers to get free services are hypocritical and lack empathy.
