Adblock has not been completely effective on YouTube for a while. I would check you are not unknowingly subscribed to premium.

Idk what the experience is like on chromium, but on Firefox, ad blockers have continued to be basically 100% effective for me.

Brave works great as well.

The youtube logo changes to 'PREMIUM' if you're using it. It's kind of hard to miss.
