fixed it by blocking the element

Which one? That'd certainly help to know how to do that

I believe it was this one, just add it as part of the filter list in ublock

The extension I used for user agent was this one. I don't think it matters what you spoof as, but I chose to spoof as chrome. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/

So far it worked and I'm back to no ads and no interruptions

Thanks, I'll have a look at this later and I'm sure it'll prove useful for everyone!

Okay, I am trying to add it. Just copy your YouTube stuff -> go to myFilters -> paste?

Yea, I have a couple more that I forget does what (I think a couple are for hiding youtube games and shorts and stuff), but it should just look like this in my filters.
