Wipr
Wipr blocks all ads, trackers, cryptocurrency miners, EU cookie and GDPR notices, and other annoyances, so you can focus on the content that matters to you while using Safari. • Time, Data, and Battery Saver Web pages load a lot faster with Wipr, and much less needs to be downloaded. Your...

Sure thing... this link will take you to the App Store where you can download Wipr.
No... Wipr does not work with Chrome.
You would need to pay the $1.99 to purchase Wipr.
Get the newest version 6 of Cookie.
I'm not seeing YT ads with Wipr
Think this will be my first Mac specific purchase in the app store
Thanks for commenting back.
I used Adblock Pro I think its called. Its a free ad blocker in the Mac store and I see no ads on YouTube with it.
If you like using Chrome I would recommend Brave browser. It has Adblock and HTTPS everywhere built in and you can add the extension CookieAutoDelete to manage cookies for free. It also has an IOS app so you can sync bookmarks etc as well.

You can block them at the DNS level I use nextdns.io to block them in the app if im going to watch a long video and don't want constant interruptions.
Wipr and AdGuard both block ads on YouTube in Safari on macOS and iOS. I refuse to use the YouTube app specifically because of ads.
Personally I favour Ghostery. free and very effective and also stops trackers dead in the water. Also use Adblock Plus and never had any problems with both active. Both are free.
Ghostery has been caught selling browsing history to ad companies and data brokers. The EFF released Privacy Badger that does the same thing and is open source I also recommend Ublock Origin over Adblock plus for the improved efficiency and its open source as well.
WIPR DOES block YouTube ads. Heck I'm on YouTube 90% of my usage time on my MacBook running Safari. Never seen one ad! Nada!
