The problem with Revanced is the installation. Most users don’t want hear “go to the GitHub” or “definitely don’t get it from the .io site because that’s malware” which is an install I’ve seen linked on Reddit.
On mobile I use NewPiped. Different UI, and it’s not perfect, but it works more as an RSS feed (with optional recommendations), so no algorithm trying its best to get as much attention from you as possible.
For TV, assuming you have an Android TV, you can use SmartTube.
For mobile, use ReVanced. It’ll ask you to provide an APK of a specific version of the YouTube app, which you can download from here.
For PC, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin adblocker. I know you said you don’t use Chrome, but I’ll explain why people are saying not to use it specifically with uBlock Origin: Basically, with Chrome’s update to Manifest v3, that’ll greatly impact uBlock Origin and its ability to do its job.
All three options above also include the ability to enable/ install something called SponsorBlock. SponsorBlock uses community submissions to (based on the user’s preference) either skip or give the option to skip portions of a video such as sponsorship segments or “like and subscribe” segments among other things.
Do any YouTube blockers work anymore? The last two I was using just stopped working a few weeks back
Firefox + uBlock. Hasn’t failed me once, not even when they recently tried to push back against adblockers.
Revanced on mobile as well.

That was intentional by google. Stop fucking using Chrome
I don’t. Stopped working on my tv, my PC Firefox, mobile everything.

Firefox + uBlock Origin are still fine
For some reason I have ublock and have it set to on when I’m on YouTube, but it doesn’t do anything. I still get ads.
Clear the uBlock cache and refresh the filters
First, backup your uBlock Origin settings. Next, try resetting your uBlock Origin settings.
Stop using Chrome
I don’t. Ever
uBlock Origin on PC and NewPipe on android have been working fine for me
Recently? I deleted new pipe off my phone like a week or two ago cause it wasn’t working
Yeah I haven’t had any problems the last couple of weeks. Currently using version 0.27.2 on a Pixel 7. I used to use ReVanced but had issues with it
Brave browser
I use SmartTube on my android tv sticks, no problem. I do wish autoplay had better intelligence though.
