Use uBlock.

Adblock and adblock plus sold out and will let adverts through that pay money to Adblock and Adblock Plus.
Not sure about that? I use Adblock plus on every browser I use, phone and laptop and don't see any ads at all, including Youtube videos. I also tend to use Opera as that has a built in adblocker now.

It might say that but there's still an option on ABP to block all ads and I honestly don't see any at all.

You must be lucky then. I swapped from Adblockplus to uBlock the other year after it stopped blocking most adverts.

Dunno about luck, I just clicked the option off that says to allow acceptable ads on everything I install it on :lol:

What is adblock? Suppose the clue is in the name.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

Yeah, it is just that...An app that filters ads out of websites and stops you seeing them. It gets detected by most revenue-earning sites and either blocks you from that webpage or triggers an opt-out. Works well on stuff like Youtube and Ebay.

I first got on the internet 25 years ago. That is equivalent to starting my driving career in one of these.
