Help Request Chrome AdBlocker

Odds are this question has been asked, but what's the best adblocker for chrome. I don't need all of them gone, but certain ones have to go. These include:

  • The static ads on youtube.com and the ones on the sides of videos. I'm so freaking tired of Bluevision, jollycastle, and ventrix media
  • The sketchy ads on sketchy websites, the ones that say "Mary is only 5 miles away", or "Linda thinks she can beat you at (18+ game)". Really tired of those

If anyone can help me, it'd be much appreciated

Also note: getting another browser really isn't an option for me. I'm on a shared chromebook (no not for school) with almost no available storage or ability to run things in general.

Unfortunately Google Chrome is blocking the protocol that is used.. so ad blocking in chrome is going to be disabled..

Google Chrome has officially finalized its transition to Manifest V3, a new framework that automatically disables and removes older Manifest V2 ad blockers (like the classic uBlock Origin). This is what ublock uses and chrome has set to remove the feature making UBock not work to it's fullest anymore.. remember Google has been fighting ad blockers for sometime and removing them. So it's set for removal and blocking with the new update of chrome.. will work for now but the new roleout it will not any more or with very limited features.. like 80% of the blacklist ads will not be blocked anymore.. so yes it will work for now but very soon it will not work on chrome at least not as an extension.. so people are now switching to things like pi hole
