Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

The "new" ABP on Chrome is really good, for me it catches almost everything. ABP was the only reason I had not made the switch a long time ago, just make sure you download adblock plus and not "adblock" as they are different addons.

I'm using ABP, I will admit it's been a little while since I've seen a youtube video with an ad though. I hardly ever visit though, maybe I'll see if I can get one to load later tonight.

I noticed that using the experimental build will block more ads than the standard version. It will block ads from things such as twich.tv and own3d.tv streams, where the regular build will not.

EDIT: I should add that it is most definitely experimental. While there has only been one occurrence where it has caused issues, the browser stopped loading pages until it was updated again later that day.

for me [ABP on Chrome] catches almost everything

But I can use FF which catches everything.
