I agree with Carlos' experience where I never saw ads in YouTube when I
used the Epic Privacy Browser (which fell apart in the first week of July)
on Windows. 

The problem that caused YouTube to be an issue wasn't that lack of ads but
the fact that it required people to log in to prove that they're not a bot.

It takes more than just uBlock Origin to prove you're not a bot, which I've
been able to accomplish but where it's an uneasy truce with the algorithm.
