Save it, and Tampermonkey will run it every time you visit example.com . | Approach | Best For | |----------|----------| | uBlock Origin (extension) | Daily, all-around protection | | Tampermonkey scripts | Specific bypasses & site fixes | | Both together | Maximum coverage |

uBlock Origin (always on) + Tampermonkey with the YouTube bypass script. That combination has survived every anti-adblock update for over a year.

We all know the usual suspects for ad blocking: uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, and Brave’s built-in shields. But sometimes, you need something more surgical, more lightweight, or capable of handling tricky ads that traditional extensions miss (like YouTube’s anti-adblock walls or pop-under windows).
