I find that uBlock Origin (or Brave) isn't enough for YouTube.

If you use Piped [0] you can only watch the updates from channels you are subscribed to without ads, intro, sponsors/promo etc.

That site is using Sponsor Block:

https://sponsor.ajay.app/

...which, for those not familiar, is available as a browser extension. It crowdsources timestamps for non-necessary parts of youtube videos, and can automatically fetch those timestamps and skip over them in videos you're watching.

...and since Piped a webapp with account signups, it works on mobile browser as well without any extensions and you can manage channel subscriptions as well.
