Is it even possible to block YouTube ads anymore without a headache?

I’m about to lose my mind with YouTube’s latest adblock detection. It feels like every time I update my filters, they find a new way to break things.

I’ve tried switching to Firefox with uBlock Origin since Chrome’s Manifest V3 update basically killed my old setup, and it’s been a bit more stable, but even that gets flagged occasionally.

Is anyone actually winning this cat-and-mouse game right now? I’ve heard people mention using DNS-level blocking or even custom scripts on Tampermonkey, but I’m curious what’s actually working for you guys in the long run. Are we all just destined to watch three mid-rolls per video, or is there a "set it and forget it" solution I haven't found yet? Thank you.
