Firefox and ublock origin. I haven't watched ads in over 10 years

Also add in decentraleyes, privacy badger, canvas block, and ghostery.

Those five extensions together make it so that YouTube has an incredibly difficult time fingerprinting you and blocking you.

Decentraleyes is no longer being actively maintained. Ghostery doesn’t have a good track record. uBO and Privscy Badger are enough. The more you add stuff for anti-fingerprinting, the more unique you become therefore more fingerprintable.

There's a replacement for Decentraleyes called LocalCDN. Shame that the name isn't as catchy, though.

I have no idea whether it makes you more fingerprintable, and if it does, whether the fewer CDN connections is worth it.

I also use Noscript and JSHELTER for more privacy.
