How does hblock works?

Hblock is a system-wide adblock. I was wondering how it would work to stop ads and trackers. When I’m in a browser and go watch YouTube for example, the ads are only blocked because of my ublock origin extension. When I turn it off though, the ads come back. I went to the hblock website and it said I was using it(???). How does this work? The hblock blocklist shows it’s blocking a lot of domains (at the very least, more than 1000), including easylist; easyprivacy, etc.

Yet, it doesn’t block browser ads? I don’t understand.

If anyone needs this info, I’m running a Linux OS
