Please post the link of the video in YT.
I don't have a Google account: Any other site?

I'm referring to the music video on YT where you showed the proof.

In your video you haven't done what i did.
You just showed the video playing.
Go to the video.
Clear YT cookies, YT may not show the ad for various reasons if it has already shown the ad in the video many times.
Close Chrome without closing the tab.
Launch Chrome....Then do the same with uBO Lite...

That's a solid group of lists. ABP's anti-cv and anti-adblock are 2 I'm going to add back, they're both around 2k lines each so not a big deal at all. uAssets is another favorite of mine, that does a lot for a filter list with less than 15k lines. I did see one I'm unfamiliar with though, what is urlhaus-filter-agh.txt for?

The most important thing about adblocker lists is how well-maintained and updated they are. Not line count.
The line count goal was just to keep the rules down, a personal crusade to make it as efficient as possible. I do agree that a carefully maintained list is critically important. The two I'm using seem to fall into that category, but only time will tell.
The DDG Tracker Radar list is not a regular blocklist but a JSON file
When I downloaded it I did see the format was decidedly different. I don't use it however because, rather ironically, it also prevents commenting on Yahoo articles. I've tested at least 20 filter lists while I've been messing around and DDG Tracker and CPBL are the only ones with the issue. That suggests to me the tracker behind the comments functionality isn't deemed egregious by most of the list maintainers.
As for troubleshooting site breakage with blocklists, it's usually a process of elimination
That's what I was trying to avoid, blindly poking around and hoping I accidentally find it. I've looked through the log file but I can't make much sense out of it, I'll see if the maintainers Git page has a way to report an issue.

barbudo, just upload a video where you open Vivaldi and the first page it loads is the YT video.
And with only Adguard MV3 installed, no enabled native adblocker, no uBO, no UBO Lite, no sofware like Adguard Home runnning in background, nothing, just Adguard MV3. -

That's the ABP compatible list of Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard Home).
All lists Catweazle is using are included in Vivaldi.
Except this and the uBlock list he is also using.
It is a very good list, you should use it. -
I hadn't ever used that list before, perhaps that's why the name of the txt file threw me for a loop.
