I can use uBlock Origin in Iceraven on my phone, which probably has a similar-ish outcome (though it's slower at keeping up the YT ads arms race, every so often ads will slip in)

However, I instead watch YT on a Revanced patched version of the Youtube app, which blocks ads, uses Sponsorblock (skip all the sponsored segments and if you want to skip intros/intermissions/outros etc), and very importantly, lets you have background playback - I couldn't be happier with it! Especially when I want to have some 3 hour brown noise + rain video playing in the background while I doomscroll
